Ana Collado

If you are navigating anxiety, emotional stress, or major life changes, you don't have to carry it alone. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental mental health care to teens, adults, and families.

Having worked in primary care in the South Bronx and grown up with Spanish as my first language, I understand how deeply culture and language impact healthcare. I am passionate about breaking down those barriers so you feel truly heard and understood.

I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to accept where we are: “Once you accept your ‘reality,’ that is when the mind is ready to heal.” My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel empowered to heal and grow.

My approach is holistic, collaborative, and rooted in active listening. I view you as the expert of your life, and my job is to offer the clinical guidance and compassionate space you need to thrive.

We will look at your overall well-being—mind, body, lifestyle, and values—rather than just symptoms. Together, we will create a tailored plan that may include supportive therapy, lifestyle tweaks, and medication management when appropriate.

Your first session is a relaxed, supportive space to share your story in either English or Spanish. We will discuss what brings you to care, your health history, and what you hope to achieve.

By the end of our visit, we will outline a clear, personalized plan forward so you leave feeling supported, confident, and understood.
