Amanda Benvenuto

I’m Amanda Benvenuto, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner whose background in emergency nursing shaped my calm, attentive, and compassionate approach. I provide individualized care for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and mental health needs during pregnancy and postpartum. Through thoughtful psychiatric evaluations and collaborative medication management, I help you understand your options and develop a plan that fits your life. My goal is for you to feel heard, confident in your care, and supported as we work toward meaningful change.

I combine evidence-based treatment with a personalized, compassionate approach to care. My recommendations draw on current research and clinical guidelines while considering your health history, experiences, preferences, and goals. We’ll discuss medication options, their potential benefits and risks, and how therapy and daily habits can support your mental health. I want you to understand your options and feel comfortable asking questions, so we can make decisions together and adjust treatment based on your progress.

Your first visit is a chance for us to get to know each other in a supportive, nonjudgmental setting. We’ll explore what brought you in, how you’ve been feeling, your health history, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. You don’t need to have everything figured out—there will be space for your questions, concerns, and goals. Together, we’ll discuss my initial assessment and treatment options, including whether medication may be appropriate, so you leave with a clearer understanding of your care and our next steps.
