Dr. Rosamar Torres

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of healthcare experience. I received my NP training at Duke University and hold a PhD from The University of Texas at Austin. I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management primarily for adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns. I strive to create a welcoming and respectful environment where every patient feels heard and can be actively involved in their care.

I take time to understand each person’s unique experiences, goals, and concerns to develop individualized treatment plans. My recommendations are guided by current evidence while also considering your preferences, lifestyle, and overall health. Although my practice is focused on medication treatment and management, I incorporate brief supportive psychotherapy and CBT-based interventions into sessions when clinically appropriate. Additionally, I can work with patients who are already established with a therapist and are considering medication treatment.

During your initial evaluation, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking care, current symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, previous treatments and medications, lifestyle, family history, and personal goals to ensure I have a complete understanding of your needs. I’ll also review diagnostic considerations and treatment options, including medication when clinically appropriate. I will explain my recommendations, answer your questions, and make sure you are confident with the next steps. Follow-up appointments will focus on monitoring symptoms and assessing treatment response, medication effectiveness, and tolerability. You and I can also adjust the treatment plan at any point during this process.
