Patricia Perez

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner who graduated from the University of Miami (Go Canes!). While my practice focuses exclusively on psychiatric mental health care, my background as a Family Nurse Practitioner allows me to consider the bigger picture and understand how physical and mental health work together.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life stressors. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, not intimidating, and that treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and involved in the decision-making process.

My approach to care is individualized and evidence-based. I take the time to understand the full picture, including your symptoms, life experiences, physical health, and personal goals, before making treatment recommendations. I believe patients should understand their diagnosis and treatment options so they can make informed decisions about their care. Whether treatment involves medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches, my goal is to create a plan that is both effective and realistic for your daily life.

During our first session, we'll discuss what brought you in, the challenges you're experiencing, and your goals for treatment. I'll ask questions about your mental health, medical history, and any previous experiences with therapy or medication to gain a better understanding of your needs. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan and discuss whether medication, therapy, or other interventions may be beneficial. You can expect to leave the appointment with a better understanding of your symptoms and a clear plan for moving forward.
