Vera Somado

Hi, I'm Vera, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 15 years of nursing experience and have worked with individuals across a variety of healthcare and mental health settings. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, and sleep difficulties. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected and comfortable being honest about what you're experiencing.

I believe mental health care should be collaborative and personalized. I take time to understand what matters most to you, including your values, beliefs, life experiences, and what you're comfortable with when it comes to treatment. If faith or spirituality is important to you, I'm happy to incorporate that into our work together. When medication is appropriate, we'll discuss your options together, so you feel informed and comfortable with your treatment plan. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected and involved in every decision about your care

Our first visit is really about getting to know you and understanding the full picture. We'll talk about what brought you in, your symptoms, health and medication history and what you hope to improve. By the end of the visit, we'll work together on a treatment plan that feels realistic and comfortable for you, whether that includes medication, lifestyle changes, therapy recommendations, or a combination of approaches
