Richard D'Amato
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), Nurse Practitioner
I treat adults with various psychiatric struggles, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, with experience treating various psychiatric disorders (including mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD) across the lifespan. I also have been extensively trained in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder at both the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and The University of Pennsylvania. I work to provide a welcoming, accepting, and comfortable environment. As your provider, I will spend time hearing your story - your personal narrative. Together we will establish collaborative goals. These goals will be personal to how your symptoms are impacting your life. By doing so we can gauge recovery from symptoms in a way that is meaningful to you.
