Ruth Mena Akyatan

I’m Ruth Esmeralda Mena, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and bilingual provider (Spanish and English).

I specialize in treating individuals across the lifespan who are experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, psychosis, and personality disorders. I bring over eight years of diverse experience in community, outpatient, and acute care settings, and I’m compassionate and deeply committed to improving mental health. Each individual has a unique past, present, and future that has shaped who they are. I do not believe in prescribing or treating in a "one-size-fits-all " way. I value and want input and feedback from my patients.

ADHD Evaluation Information:

Patients under 18 years old: I’d be happy to complete the ADHD evaluation with you, either via telehealth or in person, whichever is most convenient for you.

Patients 18 years and older: A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is required as part of our ADHD assessment process. Please message me for more information. I’ll be happy to guide you!

I am compassionate, open-minded, holistic, and solution-oriented. I hope that patients leave their appointment feeling like their concerns have been heard and fully addressed, they were respected and not judged, they clearly understand their treatment plan, and they have a more hopeful outlook for their future and present.
