Norma Ramirez

My name is Norma, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and graduate of Pace University. I bring over six years of nursing experience in psychiatric and mental health care, supporting individuals with a variety of mental health needs. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep appreciation for the importance of compassionate, patient-centered care.

I chose to further my career in mental health because I am passionate about helping individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered, especially during some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. I also believe that warmth, authenticity, and a touch of humor (when appropriate) can go a long way in helping people feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing what’s on your mind, and working together toward positive, meaningful changes in your life.

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe in taking the time to understand each client as a whole person, not just their symptoms. Together, we’ll discuss the treatment options that may be right for you, whether that includes medication management, supportive therapy, psychoeducation, or healthy lifestyle changes. I value open communication and want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your thoughts, and being an active part of decisions about your care.

During the first session, clients can expect a supportive and judgment-free environment where they can openly discuss their concerns, experiences, and goals at their own pace. We’ll take time to explore what has been going on, what is most important to them, and what they hope to gain from treatment. From there, we’ll begin developing a personalized treatment plan based on their individual needs and goals. My goal is for you to leave the first session with a clear understanding of the next steps in your care and feel comfortable and supported moving forward.
