Melissa Schneider is a ANCC Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP, Across the Lifespan) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She received her MSW from The University of Pittsburgh in 2016 and MSN from Vanderbilt University in 2022. Melissa has worked with children, teenagers and adults in inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health care settings. She has experience treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and OCD.

Melissa is dedicated to her patients and will work with you to find a treatment plan that is specific to your needs and future goals.

Melissa strongly believes that mental health treatment should be a combination of therapy and medication management, as well as identifying the root cause of symptoms. She has joined a fellowship through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute, so she is aware of a variety of treatment options instead of strictly pharmaceuticals. She has a deep love for dogs and believes they have a profound ability to improve one’s mental health. She plans to incorporate the use of therapy dogs in her practice and have her Golden Retriever, Gus, work alongside her.
