Meet Melecia Smikle, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C

Because Your Mind Matters — and so do you.

A Note From Melecia

Hi, I’m Melecia Smikle — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I’m passionate about walking beside individuals and families as they take brave steps toward mental wellness.

I created Melcare LLC to provide compassionate, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based care — all in a secure, virtual setting where you can feel seen, heard, and safe.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or mood disorders, I’m here to support you with clinical expertise and human understanding. My goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to empower you with clarity, confidence, and emotional strength.

My Philosophy

Mental health care should never feel cold, rushed, or one-size-fits-all. That’s why I take a holistic and client-centered approach, combining medication management with supportive therapy tailored to your needs, preferences, and background.

I believe:

  • Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

  • Healing begins in safe spaces, built on trust.

  • You are more than a diagnosis — your story matters.

  • Culture, identity, and lived experience are essential parts of treatment.
