Sylvia Guthrie

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I bring a rich multicultural background to my practice—born in Brazil and thriving in the United States since 2012, I am fluent in English and Portuguese (Brazilian), with proficiency in Spanish. Over the years, I have specialized in helping individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression through Spravato, an advanced FDA-approved ketamine therapy that offers new hope when traditional options haven't provided relief. Whether you are navigating sudden psychiatric symptoms, managing long-standing mental health conditions, or simply feeling out of sorts, I provide compassionate, specialized support tailored to your background and life stage.

My approach to care is rooted in deep empathy, inclusivity, and evidence-based innovation. I believe mental healthcare should be accessible, culturally sensitive, and personalized to meet you exactly where you are on your journey. By integrating cutting-edge interventions like Spravato with a holistic understanding of your unique life experiences, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where we work collaboratively toward lasting healing and balance.

In our first session together, you can expect a warm, supportive atmosphere where your story and concerns are truly heard. We will conduct a thorough initial evaluation to discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and goals for treatment. Together, we will outline a thoughtful, personalized care plan—exploring all suitable treatment options, including advanced therapies if appropriate—so you leave with clarity, reassurance, and a clear path forward.
