Ricardo Toledo Amador

Call me Ric. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience caring for adolescents, adults, and older adults across inpatient, outpatient, and telepsychiatry settings. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and perinatal/postpartum mental health concerns. My background in acute behavioral health has given me extensive experience supporting people through everyday challenges and crises alike. I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed care in English and Spanish, focusing on helping you feel understood and actively involved in your treatment.

I believe mental health care works best when it's collaborative. My role is to listen carefully, understand your unique experiences and goals, and use my clinical expertise to help you make informed decisions about your care. I take an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach that recognizes there is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Whether we're discussing medication, lifestyle changes, therapy, or a combination of approaches, we'll work together to create a plan that fits your needs and supports long-term wellness.

Our first session is about understanding the whole picture. We'll talk through what brought you here, your symptoms, your medical and mental health history, and the challenges you're facing. I'll conduct a comprehensive evaluation, but our conversation moves at a pace comfortable for you. By the end, you'll leave with a clear assessment summary, a chance to ask questions, and a personalized treatment plan built around your goals.
