Nicolette Quashie

My name is Nicolette Quashie, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP proudly serving the Massachusetts community.

Born and raised in Boston but proudly shaped by the rich cultures of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago. I have always felt deeply connected to Massachusetts and its people, a true Bostonian. My journey in healthcare began at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where I studied psychology before transferring to the University of Massachusetts Boston to earn my Bachelor of Science in Nursing BSN. Eager to specialize in mental health, I pursued my masters degree at Purdue Global University, where I became a board-certified PMHNP.

My professional career spans over a decade of diverse nursing experience. From 2014 to 2019, I worked as a medical-surgical bedside nurse at Brigham and Womens Hospital, where I developed strong clinical skills and a passion for client-centered care. I then expanded my horizons, working as a medical-surgical travel nurse from 2019 to 2024 in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, gaining invaluable experience in various healthcare settings across the country.

From 2022 to 2024, I worked as a local traveling registered nurse at Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hospital on a unit specializing in addiction psychiatry. This experience reignited my passion for psychiatry as I witnessed the transformative impact that compassionate, specialized care can have on individuals struggling with addiction. It reaffirmed my commitment to the field of mental health and the importance of holistic, empathetic approaches to treatment.

As part of my Masters PMHNP clinical training, I spent one year with New Vision Healthcare Group, where I had the privilege of partnering with group homes and supporting individuals with disabilities within the mental health field. Additionally, I completed a rotation at Child and Family Services, a mental health crisis center, where I developed critical skills in crisis intervention, rapid assessment, and stabilization for individuals and families across the life span in immediate need.

My passion for mental health stems from my belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Whether addressing addiction, mood disorders, or other mental health challenges, I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my clients by offering comprehensive, integrative care.

Together, we will navigate the challenges of mental health and uncover the silver lining that allows for healing, growth, and resilience. I look forward to being a part of your journey toward mental wellness, lets work together to create your brighter tomorrow.
