About

M. Ryan Murphy

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who earned my Bachelor of Arts and Science in Biology at Marymount University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and a Master of Science in Nursing at Salisbury University, along with a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Degree from Maryville University. I have been in medicine since 2008, holding various roles, including student health insurance advocate, immunization advocate, medical scribe, certified nursing assistant, and registered nurse specializing in multi-system intensive care and rapid response teams. I also worked as a travel nurse, where I traveled to multiple hospitals along the east coast of the United States.

I hold a board certification from the American Nursing Credentialing Center, specializing in psychiatric mental health across the lifespan. My goal is to help clients create a safe space, enhance self-awareness, encourage empowerment, and work together to achieve their goals. I understand that while medicine can play an essential role in helping clients achieve full recovery, it is not always the sole answer. I believe that full recovery comes from collaboration with interdisciplinary professionals (therapists, counselors, etc.), family, friends, and, most importantly, the client to reach their objectives.

My favorite saying is, “Having mental health problems is like being stuck in the middle of the ocean drowning. The medicine helps you stay afloat, but it’s the therapist that will help you get back to land.”
