(she/her)
Ruth Esmeralda Mena, PMHNP, is a board-certified bi-lingual (Spanish & English). I have over eight years of diverse experience in community, outpatient, and acute care settings. I treat all mental health conditions. Each individual has a unique past, present, and future that will and have shaped them into who they are. I do not believe in prescribing or treating in a "one size fits all." I value and want input and feedback from my patients.
I am compassionate, open-minded, holistic, and solution-oriented. I hope that patients leave their appointments feeling like their concerns have been heard and fully addressed, they are respected and not judged, they clearly understand their treatment plan, and they have a more hopeful outlook for their future and present. I would love to help you empower yourself to heal and thrive through a holistic care approach that brings wellness to your mind, spirit, and body.
Client-oriented care, one on one. I would like to help my client improve their lives through evidence-based treatments and centered patient care with the highest quality in psychiatric and mental health.
I specialize in treating individuals across the lifespan with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, psychosis, and ADHD. With over eight years of diverse experience in community, outpatient, and acute care settings.

I want to thank psychiatrist Ruth Esmeralda Mena for being so attentive, patient, and truly humane. She listened carefully, took the time to understand everything that was going on, and showed genuine compassion. What made a big difference is that she speaks Spanish perfectly, which made me feel completely comfortable expressing my problems and symptoms. It’s not easy to find a professional who combines knowledge, empathy, and clear communication like she does. Highly recommended!

I like her approach and she just is an inviting person who is easy to talk to. She truly listens to my concerns and helps me figure out the best plan and med management that will help me get back on my feet.
