Sheila L. – PMHNP-BC

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a master’s degree in the field. Drawing on my background in both healthcare and communication, I offer warm, culturally sensitive care in English and Spanish. I practice integrative, whole-body psychiatry for children, adolescents, and adults—blending thorough psychiatric evaluation with evidence-based mind-body approaches. Safety, compassion, and deep listening anchor every encounter.

What should a new client know about working with me?

• Safe, collaborative space: I foster an environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

• Warm, conversational style: Sessions are relaxed and nonjudgmental.

• Culturally informed care: Your background, values, and identity guide our work.

• Flexible treatment options: Together we explore medication, lifestyle shifts, and holistic practices at a pace that suits you.

My typical process

1. Whole-person assessment — We look beyond symptoms to your physical, emotional, and social context.

2. Personalized plan — I design a care roadmap focused on safety and sustainable wellness.

3. Integrated treatment — Options may include medication management, therapeutic dialogue, lifestyle changes, mindfulness, and nutritional support.

4. Ongoing collaboration — We adjust the plan together, ensuring it stays aligned with your goals and growth.
