Debra Peneiras

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Manalapan Township, NJ


As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I bring decades of experience across primary care, gastroenterology, and behavioral health. My unique clinical background helps me understand not only mental health conditions, but how they intersect with physical health, family life, and daily functioning.

I've worked with clients, supporting them through challenges like anxiety, depression, substance use, and bipolar disorder.. At Hampton Behavioral Health Center, I provided psychiatric care to teens and adults struggling with addiction and severe mental illness. In a gastroenterology setting, I deepened my understanding of how emotional stress can manifest physically, such as stomach pain or IBS, reinforcing my belief in a holistic, mind-body approach to care.

My clients should know that I am readily available to listen and provide my expertise. I have in-person and telehealth appointments available with flexible hours.

I look forward to meeting you! Please book your appointment on Headway.
