About Me
Melissa Turkal is a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner in Monroeville, Pennsylvania providing psychiatric medication management through Integrity Psychological Services.
She supports adults living with ADHD, anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder and OCD, trauma and related concerns offering thoughtful evaluation alongside ongoing medication support.
Her practice is grounded in trauma informed, compassion focused and culturally sensitive care that prioritizes dignity, validation and whole person mental health.
Focusing on Mental and Physical Care
New patients typically begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, where Melissa takes time to understand each person’s history, symptoms and treatment goals.
From there, she develops an individualized medication plan within a safe, non judgmental environment that integrates supportive psychotherapy.
Her clinical approach blends trauma focused and strength based care with attention to both mental and physical health.
Patients can expect collaborative conversations about diagnosis and medication options, coping skills and life transitions with a strong emphasis on reducing stigma and building long term wellness.
