Anne Maria Ruinge

I am a dual board-certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of healthcare experience. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care from the University of Maryland and completed my post-master's certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Johns Hopkins University.

My clinical experience spans outpatient care, inpatient critical care, and behavioral health. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and evidence-based treatment for adults with a wide range of mental health conditions.

I take a compassionate, patient-centered, and evidence-based approach to mental health care. I work collaboratively with each patient to develop individualized treatment plans that integrate medication management, education, and lifestyle strategies to support long-term recovery and overall well-being.

Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation designed to better understand your concerns, symptoms, and treatment goals. We will discuss your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, family history, lifestyle, and any factors that may be affecting your mental health.

Together, we will develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and referrals to other services when appropriate. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss your concerns, and actively participate in decisions about your care.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward improved mental wellness.
