I've been blessed to enjoy a career spanning 40 years in nursing with 25 years in advanced practice as a clinical specialist in the adult psychiatric population in a variety of clinical settings. In-patient acute psychiatry, addiction treatment centers, outpatient psychotherapy as well as a professor of psychiatric nursing. Many of my more recent years have been spent working as a consultant for a large psychiatric practice. Having arrived at the golden years of my career with decades of experience, opening my own private practice was the next logical step. Im looking forward to working together using a variety of psychotherapeutic treatment modalities to get you back to feeling like YOU. Thank you for trusting me as your healthcare provider. Let's get started! - Meg

Amjad Bahnassi quite literally could not have gotten out of Syria any sooner. Born and raised in the capital of Damascus, Bahnassi graduated high school at 16 and finished medical school at 22. The day after graduation, he left.
"I was ready," he said.
Bahnassi came to Worcester in the early 1980s for a residency program at UMass Medical Center as a psychiatrist and never left. After completing his residency, he started Behavioral Healthcare Services, a practice he still leads after more than 25 years.
