Who is Christopher Messmer?

MSN, RN, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC, ACTIVE-DUTY VETERAN

I hail from Columbus, Ohio, where my late father’s family has deep roots in the South Side/German Village area. Our family still proudly owns the German-style brick home that my great grandfather built from scratch. On my mother’s side, we have ties to the Vinton County/Hocking Hills area, providing me with the unique experience of growing up surrounded by both the tranquility of the countryside and the vibrancy of city life. 

Some of my fondest memories involve driving through the hilly countryside in Hocking Hills with my maternal grandparents. Singing church hymns on our way to church or to buy Laurelville cider created a deep connection to my roots. These experiences, coupled with my early exposure to diversity, set the stage for a broader appreciation of people during my time in the U.S. Navy, where I met sailors from 51 states and foreign navies such as Greece and England. After my six years of active duty as a hospital corpsman, I immediately worked to finish my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Ohio State, where I also completed my Master’s training in advanced practice nursing. 

One memorable figure from my childhood is Wally Crishbaum, a blind elderly family friend. Our encounters were brief, but his warmth and inquisitiveness left a lasting impact on me. It was during those early years that I developed a genuine appreciation for connecting with people.

I am a licensed therapist and am committed to providing confidential, evidence-based treatment to help you achieve your mental health goals and live a fulfilling life. I will also work with you on your medications to ensure they are proper for your condition, and refill them at your local pharmacy as needed.

My clients appreciate how I listen intently, ask critical questions and make them feel at ease immediately with unconditional care and warmth. I have been working with patients to improve their wellbeing and morale with kind words, support and pharmaceutical expertise since 1990, when I started my career in the United States Navy Healthcare field. I believe in being completely thorough by telling you everything you should expect with medications and what it will take to feel better sooner rather than later.
I offer an in-depth analysis of your current situation by exploring critical information of your behavioral healthcare past, offer concrete solutions and by working with you to create a path to success. I helped a LGBTQ transgender client turn his life around just last week by asking a bredth and depth of questions to find he had not been educated properly.
You will feel you are the most important individual to cross paths with me when in OUR care because we’re in this together to make a difference in OUR lives. I will receive as much from our visit as you will from me because everyone has something valuable to offer. We will explore novel ways to reinvigorate your mindset to make progress towards your goals!
