Marvia McDonald-Dias brings a profound commitment to nurturing mental health in her role at VIARepose Mental Health & Wellness. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she specializes in treating behavioral health across the lifespan, currently focusing on individuals aged 14 to 98. With over eighteen years of diverse nursing experience—including two years as a PMHNP—she has worked in hospitals and home care settings, gaining a deep understanding of mental health care in both inpatient and outpatient environments.

Her approach to treatment is deeply patient-centered, recognizing that each individual’s mental health journey is unique. She conducts thorough evaluations, diagnoses mental health conditions, and prescribes psychotropic medications, always prioritizing a collaborative approach that integrates multiple specialties to meet her patients' behavioral health needs.

Marvia’s academic foundation was built through rigorous training in the Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Saint Joseph. Rooted in her West Indian heritage, she values cultural sensitivity in her practice while remaining committed to evidence-based treatment modalities for all. She believes that mental health influences every aspect of a person’s life and that true well-being comes from achieving both mental and physical balance.

Beyond her professional commitments, Marvia cherishes time with her family and finds peace through meditation, which helps her stay centered. Her work at VIARepose embodies her mission—Virtuous Impactful Awareness in behavioral health—guiding patients toward healing, fulfillment, and a renewed sense of self.
