Hi! My name is Joel David Ortega, and I am a national board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner from Puerto Rico. I am here to talk to you. I will listen to you, understand you, and teach you about your condition and treatment options. We will work together to choose the best medication treatment; I use both holistic supplements and allopathic medicine to achieve the best results. Using medications does not always have to be lifelong; it can be short-term only. I used the least amount of medication possible to get you where you want to be.

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

Your first appointment with me will usually be 1 hour long. I will: -listen to your concerns and symptoms -ask questions about your general health -ask about your family history -take your blood pressure and do a basic physical check-up if it's required -develop a treatment plan that takes you into consideration.

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

As a mental health professional with ten years of experience working with children, adolescents and families in a psychiatric inpatient unit in Puerto Rico. I have seen firsthand the struggles that children, teenagers, and adults go through in their daily lives. I'm here to help you overcome those challenges. We will create a specific plan for you.

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

I treat adults 18-65 years of age for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorders, and general psychiatry. I see children six and up for ADHD, Oppositional defiant disorders, and Autism Spectrum
