Meet Martina Barshall
Passionatate psichiatric mental health nurse practitioner with excellenct approach to teament and deep experiences treating anxiety, depression, ADHD etc..
I am dedicated to putting patient safety and comfort first, while also promoting dignity and well-being. With a solid background in psychiatric evaluations and treatment, I aim to provide compassionate care to those in need.
At You Bridge Health, where I currently work, I conduct thorough psychiatric assessments and create personalized treatment plans. I collaborate with a team of experts to ensure each patient gets the best care possible. I also prescribe and monitor medications, always tweaking them to find the right balance for each individual. Educating patients and their families about mental health is a big part of my role because informed patients are empowered patients.
Previously, at Amity Healthcare Services, I provided psychotherapy and counseling using proven methods like CBT and DBT. I also managed the medication needs of my patients and ensured all documentation was accurate and up-to-date.
During my time at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital, I cared for patients with both acute and chronic mental health issues in an inpatient setting. From administering medications to working closely with a multidisciplinary team, I strived to create a supportive and effective treatment environment.
In my earlier role at Cooper University Hospital, I focused on cardiac patient care and maintaining strict safety protocols while using the Epic electronic health record system. This experience taught me the importance of detailed record-keeping and patient education for long-term wellness.
I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, involving patients and their families every step of the way. My goal is to help my patients understand their conditions and feel comfortable and confident in their treatment plans. Your mental health journey is important, and I'm here to support you through it.

My philosophy
As a PMHNP, I treat patients through a holistic, collaborative approach that includes comprehensive assessments, evidence-based interventions, and ongoing support tailored to their individual needs. Building a strong therapeutic alliance is essential, so I prioritize empathy, respect, and clear communication, ensuring patients feel heard and empowered in their care. The value I hold most as a provider is fostering trust, as it creates a safe space for patients to openly share their experiences, leading to more effective treatment outcomes and promoting their overall well-being.
