Mom and Doctor ✅

I officially graduated with my DNP degree today . All I can is thank God for strengthening me through this process. All of the glory be to him !

I thank my husband Ronan for supporting my professional dreams . You’re amazing and so humble that won’t take any credit, but truthfully without your support this will not have been possible. Thank you for always loving me and supporting my dreams .

I thank our Margot for being my whole word- I want you to always be proud of your mom and what we built while you were still so little. I thank my mom and father for raising a courageous little girl. You never questioned my curiosity and encourage me to persevere no matter what happened , “ni nada , ni nadie” was slogan.

Thank you to my mentor Dr. Horace Ellis who taught me to master the theory and practice of psychiatric care without forgetting the most important aspect to our clinical work - human connection. You inspire my work everyday and serve as a role model in professional practice. Thank you Dr. Ellis!

To my academic advisor Dr. Roche - thank you for your invaluable feedback and guidance this past year.

Finally, I thank my patients who motivate me to be a better clinician everyday. I pursued this specialty to provide mental healthcare that is relational and not transactional- caring for my patients during their most vulnerable moments is a privilege and responsibility I don’t take for granted.

We did it ! 🎊

In Elle Wood’s finest words: “Like it’s hard ?” 😉

✨Review Time ✨

Our patients’ feedback is extremely valuable.
When a patient comes to our clinic, it is fundamental they feel heard and understood. Our practice philosophy is based on Rogerian principles of unconditional acceptance. This means, you can come exactly as you are without fear of judgement.

We strive to create a space that feels safe, welcoming and professional. Nothing less.

I use developmental and psychodynamic theory everyday in practice. As PMHNPs we don’t just treat “symptoms” . I treat human beings who bring a complex story to be understood from a clinical perspective.
Developmental theoric frameworks serve as “X-rays” under this endeavour.

Here are some theorists I use to guide my work. There are many more such Bolwby, Winnicott.

My initial evaluations take one hour . Within that hour we set the foundation for proper diagnosis and treatment options. It is crucial to have a thorough History of Present Illness . This could differentiate for example one mood disorder from another (e.i Major depressive disorder versus bipolar ).

Confidence, a touch of lipstick and the Stahls pocket guide are my best accessories as of lately 💋

✨10 common misconceptions (I’ve found) in psychiatric practice.✨

There LOTS of stigma surrounding starting psychiatric treatment or therapy. One of my goals is to create content which normalizes starting psychiatric treatment or psychotherapy early on (preventatively or before a crisis)

10 common misconceptions about starting therapy of psychiatric treatment (personally encountered in practice)
✨1 “Medications can make me dependent “
✨2 “therapy is just talking … I can vent to my friends for that”
✨3 “if I start talking to a psychiatric professional it means I must be really bad or I failed …”
✨5 “Psychiatry is for crazy people “
✨ 6 “I am scared medications can change my personality”
✨7 “If I start talking to someone about my problems, I’m afraid my friends or family might learn about it “
✨8 “ this is the way I’ve always been… I don’t think I can change “
✨9 “God can heal me … I don’t need a therapist or doctor”
✨ 10 “ I just need to pray more or have more faith”

Fear to access mental healthcare for whichever reason is valid and understandable. I work alongside my clients to better understand their perspective towards treatment including fears or misconceptions. Collaboration and respect for my clients viewpoint is the foundation of treatment.

Some moments take years to build … exactly 12 for me ✨ but it’s important to look back and appreciate every little moment. If you’re a young woman pursuing your academic dreams or mom going back or continuing school. Yes , it’s a harder roadway but this post is for you!

Take breaks. But . Don’t . Stop. One assignment at the time .
#Keepgoing ✨🙌🎊

A psychiatric provider that actually listens? Sadly is not a common approach but at @mindhealthsolutionsfl is the ONLY approach. Active and reflective listening . Nothing less.

Medication management is highly individualized and tailored to patients ‘unique clinical presentation. Psychiatric care draws from theoretical knowledge, psychodynamic , pharmacological knowledge, psychosocial and systems understanding.

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is required taking in consideration recent lab work, hormonal functioning, family history, current comorbidites, stressors and nutritional deficiencies.

We provide individualized, evidence-based care .
