Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 47 insurances. Specializes in Medication Management, Anxiety, Depression
As a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of clinical experience, I bring a deep commitment to delivering a compassionate, evidence- based mental health care across the lifespan. I have received extensive training from the of the nation's leading institutions, including Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), McLean Hospital, Tampa General Hospital (TGH), Boston Medical Center, and Tuft Medical Center.
I strive to create a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment, 1st session will focus on setting clinical goals and treatment goals.
What sets me apart as a provider is my commitment to individualized treatment that prioritizes quality over quantity - especially when it comes to medication. I emphasize the importance of minimizing medication regimen whenever clinically appropriate, focusing instead of holistic, sustainable strategies that support long-term mental wellness.
My background spans a variety of clinical settings - ranging from inpatient to outpatient care - providing me with a broad and nuanced understanding of mental heath challenges at every stage of life. While I have experience working with both adolescents and adults, my clinical focus includes the treatment of anxiety disorders, post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depressive disorder.

The best! She makes sure that you are covering your therapy needs first and works with you to get the right combination of meds. She is always available for changes and considers your opinions on treatment options

I had an online appointment with Darina today, and I’m very grateful for the experience. She was warm, attentive, and made me feel comfortable sharing my concerns. After the session, I felt calmer and had a clearer understanding of my situation and next steps. She explained different options in a supportive way, which made me feel more confident. I plan to follow her recommendations and schedule a follow-up. I would definitely recommend her.

Darina is intelligent, authentic, direct, and warm. I felt listened to and supported. She addressed all of my questions/concerns and made sure I knew what I need to look out for starting a medication. I was a bit nervous coming into my first psychiatric appointment, but the call went great and I am happy with the outcome. It seems like she really cares
