My ideal clients are those who have not responded to standard psychiatric care, years of partial improvement, unclear diagnoses, or treatment that never fully addressed the problem. I came up through psychiatry from the ground floor, beginning as a mental health technician and building 13 years of clinical experience across settings. That path shapes how I evaluate and treat complexity. I work with adolescents, adults, and perinatal patients, including Spanish-speaking families, who need precise, culturally informed care. At MindSolutions Psychiatry, the focus is not just symptom control, but diagnostic clarity and resolution.

I work with adults who feel stuck in survival mode—getting through the day but not truly feeling like themselves. Many come in feeling unheard or rushed in past care, still struggling with focus, anxiety, or mood. I provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care focused on understanding the full picture and creating a clear path forward. My approach is collaborative and intentional, helping you feel more stable, focused, and like yourself again. I bring over a decade of experience across inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, working with complex presentations requiring careful diagnostic assessment and medication management.

Hi, I’m Rose Adonis, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I understand that reaching out for psychiatric support isn’t easy especially if past treatment didn’t help or left you feeling rushed or unheard. I take the time to slow things down, listen carefully, and understand what you’re actually experiencing. My approach to care is thoughtful, honest, and collaborative. I incorporate supportive therapy and psychoeducation into visits so you better understand what’s happening with your mental health and feel more confident managing symptoms outside of appointments.

First Responders Psychiatrists
Why is mental health important for first responders?
As part of their work, first responders are often exposed to high levels of stress, trauma, and physical injury that can put them at a greater risk for serious mental health conditions than the general population. Conditions like PTSD, anxiety, substance use, and depression are more common in first responders, which can greatly reduce quality of life and lead to burnout, sleep disruption, and even suicidal thoughts. Therapy can offer an opportunity for first responders to process difficult on-the-job experiences and develop coping skills to better manage any mental health symptoms they may experience.

How can first responders get access to mental health support?
Many first responders can access therapy for free or at a very low cost through their employer, such as through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Workplaces may also offer or have referral recommendations for support groups, where first responders can meet with others in their profession to receive support. Individuals who would like to access mental health services outside of their employer may use their insurance benefits to see a therapist, which they can find by searching for therapists online or asking for recommendations from their primary care physician.

What type of therapy is best for first responders?
The best therapy approach depends on the mental health concerns of the client. Since many first responders struggle with trauma or PTSD, they may benefit from trauma-specific therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Exposure Therapy, or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Individuals with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress may alternatively benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, which can help clients develop coping skills to manage distressing thoughts.

Can therapy for first responders help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in both treating and preventing trauma and PTSD in first responders. Typically, therapy for trauma and PTSD focuses on developing stress management skills and managing intrusive or unwanted thoughts. Therapists working with first responders often help clients strengthen their relationships and reduce harmful coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use. Additionally, therapists assist first responders in establishing daily habits that support overall mental and physical health and enhance resilience to future stress, such as regular physical exercise, mindfulness practices, and improved eating habits.
