Great to meet you!

My name is Teresa Albernas, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have experience treating patients with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, along with substance abuse. With a focus on supporting the LGBTQ+ community, women, and other marginalized communities, I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for individuals to explore their mental health and well-being.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My practice is grounded in a positive and holistic philosophy, aimed at assisting individuals in achieving their fullest potential in alignment with their personal objectives. Each session prioritizes the needs of the patient, ensuring that care is delivered in a non-judgmental and empathetic manner. I will work to empower patients by understanding their unique challenges and offering tailored therapeutic approaches.

What you can expect from our first session

Establishing a strong rapport with patients is paramount. You should feel at ease and know that your concerns are acknowledged. My patients have expressed that they have experienced growth and improved overall functioning. Allow me to to assist you in achieving your goals with personalized care and support!
