John Donovan Verified Provider

John Donovan, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, is a dual board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner in Winchester, Massachusetts, offering psychiatric evaluations and medication management for individuals across the lifespan.

He treats anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, trauma and substance use using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

John takes a practical, stigma reducing approach designed to support high responsibility adults who appear capable on the outside while struggling with exhaustion, overwhelm or burnout underneath.

Medication Management and Psychiatric Care for SUD & Burnout

John’s core focus is collaborative psychiatric care that blends careful prescribing with real conversation about how life actually feels.

With dual certification in psychiatric-mental health and family nursing and decades of clinical experience, he brings whole-person thinking to every evaluation.

Sessions emphasize evidence based treatment planning, evaluating symptoms in the context of daily functioning and using the right amount of medication, ideally less over time through de-prescribing when appropriate.

John pairs medication management with one-on-one therapeutic support so treatment addresses root causes rather than symptoms alone.

John frequently works with professionals, caregivers, and other high-responsibility adults navigating anxiety, depression and ADHD alongside chronic stress.

Drawing on his own experience in demanding environments, he offers relatable, judgment-free care that focuses on restoring energy, focus and balance in real life.
