Marguerita Torres

You deserve mental health care that feels thoughtful, experienced, and truly individualized. I’m a double board‐certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Internal Medicine with over 15 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults across hospital systems, outpatient psychiatry, correctional health, and women’s health. I also bring lived experience supporting loved ones with complex diagnoses who are now thriving, which shapes my grounded, human approach to care.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and evidence‐based medication management through telehealth. Sessions are calm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel more balanced, clearer, and better able to manage daily life. Treatment plans are practical, sustainable, and tailored to real‐life challenges, whether related to mood, anxiety, neurodivergence, medical conditions, or major life transitions.

Telepsychiatry works best for individuals seeking ongoing, non‐urgent support and a consistent therapeutic relationship. It is not designed for emergency or crisis‐level needs, and those situations are better served by in‐person or higher‐level care.

If you’re looking for experienced, thoughtful psychiatric care from a provider who understands both the medical and emotional sides of mental health, I’d be honored to work with you.

My clinical expertise spans a wide range of specialties that uniquely position me to deliver high-quality, compassionate, and effective psychiatric care in virtual settings. These are not just areas of knowledge; they are the pillars of my practice and the strengths I bring to every patient interaction:

Psychiatric Mental Health – Deep experience in diagnosing and managing mental health conditions with empathy and precision.

Internal Medicine – Board-certified in adult health, allowing for integrated care that addresses both physical and mental health.

Behavioral Health – Proven success in therapeutic interventions and long-term mental wellness strategies.

Mood Disorders – Expertise in treating depression, bipolar disorder, and related conditions.

Anxiety Disorders – Skilled in managing generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD.

Experience in maintenance, medication management, and supportive care.

Telepsychiatry – Adaptable and tech-savvy, ensuring seamless virtual care delivery.

🧬 GeneSight Testing

I also offer GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing, a cutting-edge tool that analyzes your DNA to understand how your body may respond to psychiatric medications. This helps us personalize your treatment, reducing trial-and-error, minimizing side effects, and improving outcomes. It’s especially helpful for individuals who’ve struggled to find the right medication or experienced adverse reactions.

Your first session will feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. We’ll talk about what’s been heavy, what’s been confusing, and what you want to feel like again. I’ll help you understand what’s happening clinically and outline a plan that feels doable.

Most clients leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more hopeful, as if they finally have someone in their corner who understands both the medical and human sides of mental health.

Fun fact: I’m bilingual and love blending evidence‐based care with practical tools you can use immediately.
