Marysa McConnell is a double board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and a Pediatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (PNP-AC). She received her Master of Science in Nursing from Duke University in 2019 and her post-master’s certification to practice as a PMHNP from Robert Morris University in 2022. She started her nurse practitioner career in pediatric primary care in 2020 and quickly saw a need for mental health care in this population, which inspired her to return to achieve dual certification as a PMHNP.
