Welcome to my website. I am Dr. Rick Pessagno, a seasoned Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based in Moorestown, New Jersey. I offer assessment, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology services to clients facing a wide variety of issues. I provide individual, group, and couples psychotherapy, as well as prescribe and manage medications. My areas of specialty include: GLBT issues, grief and traumatic loss, addictions, and relationship issues.

Using a wide variety of interventions, I help clients achieve an improved sense of well-being. My approach is both interactive and collaborative. Working together in partnership with each client, we identify goals and then establish a plan to achieve those goals. Relieving emotional distress, gaining self-awareness, learning new ways of coping, changing self-defeating patterns, and achieving greater self-esteem are just a few of the benefits that can result from working me.

Finding the right professional that meets your specific needs is a crucial part of your healing. It is my intention to provide you with information about myself and my practice in order to allow you to make an informed decision about developing a therapeutic relationship with me. I welcome your questions and I invite you to set up an appointment.
