Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Leonarda Gaige, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner licensed in Florida and Arizona, with over 11 years of nursing experience. My background spans primary care, internal medicine, cardiovascular acute care, correctional medicine, crisis stabilization, and end-of-life care.

My interest in psychiatric wellness deepened while working as a primary care provider with incarcerated individuals. I saw firsthand how deeply physical and mental health are connected. True healing happens when we care for the whole person—not just isolated symptoms.

As you begin this journey, I’m here to help you find the right compass for your healing goals. I look forward to walking alongside you.

My approach to therapy

I provide holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive care that integrates both physical and mental health needs. My treatment plans are evidence-based and patient-centered, with an emphasis on quality, safety, and long-term wellness.

I believe in collaboration, whether with you, your loved ones, or other providers, to ensure you receive comprehensive and respectful support.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a space for us to connect and begin building trust. I’ll take time to understand your story, concerns, and goals. Together, we’ll create a care plan that supports your emotional wellbeing and overall quality of life.

You can expect a welcoming, inclusive environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered in your healing journey.
