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.

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

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.

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

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.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

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.
