Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm David Perez, a psychiatric nurse practitioner providing compassionate mental health care to clients across Florida. I specialize in psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive treatment for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and sleep disturbances. Working with adolescents and adults, I collaborate closely with each individual to develop personalized treatment plans that address both the biological and lifestyle factors affecting mental health. I partner with adolescents and adults to build tailored treatment plans that integrate medication management with lifestyle factors—such as stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and coping strategies. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (PMHNP) from St. Thomas University and my Master of Business Administration in Health Care Administration from Strayer University. To ensure care is accessible and comfortable, I offer services in English, Spanish, and Italian. Whether you are navigating a new mental health challenge or seeking ongoing care, I am here to walk alongside you toward balance and healing.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach to mental health care. I believe effective treatment begins with listening carefully and understanding each patient’s unique concerns, history, and goals.

My approach combines evidence-based medication management, patient education, and shared decision-making. I have a particular interest in treating depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, and other common psychiatric conditions. When appropriate, I also encourage psychotherapy and collaboration with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.

My goal is to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard and comfortable discussing their concerns. I want my patients to understand their treatment options and feel actively involved in decisions about their mental health care.

What you can expect from me

Outside of clinical practice, I'm passionate about community involvement / continuing education / a relevant interest. I'm currently accepting new patients through Headway and offer [telehealth / in-person] appointments to clients throughout Florida, with flexible scheduling to fit busy lives. I look forward to partnering with you on your mental health journey, providing compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way.
