Abby McFerran, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Hi! My name is Abby McFerran, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Over the past eight years, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings and with all kinds of people as a nurse and prescriber. I have been bedside in the ICU, worked nights in the adult psychiatric unit at a center city hospital, and was the sole medication provider for an adolescent residential program.

I am very excited to bring my skills to Ally Psych!

I provide care and a listening ear to patients of all ages struggling with mental health problems. I am qualified to diagnose mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, borderline, ADHD, eating disorders, and many others while prescribing treatment, which may include medication. You and I will develop a treatment plan in collaboration with the rest of your treatment team.

I want all of our sessions to focus on honest communication so that we can adjust treatment according to your progress and changing needs. I believe that we are all connected as human beings, and I enjoy finding common ground so that we can tackle problems with understanding and mutual respect.
