Hello, I look forward to meeting you! My name is Dr. Roberto Gimenez, DNP. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP). I am an experienced PMHNP dedicated to helping those with mental health needs achieve optimal mental health status. I have worked in health care since 1997. I have a wide range of medication management experience across the lifespan, including PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, ADHD, OCD, Mood disorders, personality disorders, and Veteran-centric care. There is a time in our life when things can be challenging; being tough to push ourselves forward, lose our optimism and resilience, and see everything as dark and confusing without finding a solution. In these instances, many of us need a guiding hand. It is the time that an experienced mental health professional will be vital to finding balance in the ever-changing world in which we live to see the possible ways to come out from the hole we feel we are in and find those possible solutions we cannot locate ourselves. In those cases, it is essential to apply non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients will feel heard, validated, and hopeful after our sessions together. Working through hard stuff is never easy but it is doable and gratifying. Along with a sense of rapport and support, my client can expect to come away feeling that together we have created a realistic action plan for symptom improvement and wellness using a clinical approach into practice, focusing on a collaborative and patient-centered relationship, helping clients struggling with a wide range of psychiatric illness improve their mental health. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy and safe medication management to enhance their mental and psychological well-being.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I have extensive experience working with a full range of psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, stimulant/non-stimulants, and hypnotics, as well as holistic treatment modalities. Evidence has shown that psychopharmacological treatment is most successful when combined with psychotherapy. Medication management and various therapy techniques include cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength is to provide compassionate care while being attentive and a good listener; that is the better way to connect with patients and build a therapeutic relationship to meet patients' needs, which will be the success of treatment. Whether you are new to seeking help or have tried everything before without success, I am here to assist you with your mental health concerns. I specialize in general psychiatry and see patients with various mental health conditions.
