Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck despite trying to manage on your own? When anxiety, depression, or mood symptoms linger, they can drain your energy, disrupt relationships, and make even everyday tasks feel heavy. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we can identify what’s contributing to your feelings and develop a thoughtful, personalized treatment plan to help you feel more balanced, focused, and in control.
As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I can help with symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood instability, ADHD, OCD, and women's issues. I am readily available to listen and provide my expertise. I have in-person and telehealth appointments available with flexible hours.
As a provider who believes in working with the client to build a solid foundation of medication and/or non-medication options, we will work together to alleviate your concerns. I use the latest evidence-based practice options to personalize the care of each client.
Take the first step to help. Call or Debra Peneiras now - (732) 696-4537
