Rosita DeFino

As a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide psychiatric medication management and supportive psychotherapy for adults throughout New York via telehealth. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative with a focus on helping you feel comfortable, understood, and empowered in your care. I take a whole-person perspective, recognizing that mental well-being is closely connected to physical health, lifestyle, and environment.

With over 14 years of nursing experience, including nine years as a Nurse Practitioner caring for adults in inpatient medical settings, I bring a strong clinical foundation and a comprehensive understanding of how physical and emotional health influence each other.

Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that reflects your values, needs, and comfort level, helping you move toward meaningful and lasting change. If you’re ready to reach out, I’d be honored to support your next step toward feeling more balanced and at peace.

I approach therapy with an open mind and my care is individualized and grounded in clear communication. I focus on understanding what matters most to you and working together to find what feels most helpful.

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you in and what symptoms or concerns you’ve been experiencing. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, and you’ll have space to share what feels important. Together, we’ll choose next steps that feel right for you, including whether medication management could be helpful.
