Jo Ortiz

Hello and welcome! I'm JohAnny Ortiz, but please, call me Jo. As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with Phoenix Behavioral Group, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and expert care for those navigating the complexities of mental health. I'm here to support your journey with understanding, expertise, and empathy. Serving SW Florida with bilingual services in English and Spanish, I strive to create a space where everyone feels welcome and valued.

My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and personalized care. I am well-versed in managing all classes of psychiatric medications, including stimulants, benzodiazepines, SSRIs/SNRIs, mood stabilizers, and other medications. This comprehensive expertise enables me to offer a wide range of treatment options, ensuring your care plan is not only tailored to your specific needs but is also based on the most current evidence-based practices.

Our first session together is a crucial step towards understanding your needs and determining how best I can support you. During this initial meeting, expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where we'll explore your mental health concerns, goals, and any challenges you're facing. An opportunity for us to get to know each other, and for me to gather comprehensive information for your care plan. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the journey ahead.
