Hello! My name is Gerson, and I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Stella Mental Health Chicago in Westmont, specializing in comprehensive pharmacologic medication management for those navigating mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar, PTSD/PTSI, and more. We provide customized treatment plans using interventional & biological treatments such as Spravato (esketamine), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), stellate ganglion blocks (SGB), ketamine-assisted therapy, integration therapy, and more. I earned my Master's of Science in Nursing from University of Illinois Chicago.
With a strong commitment to fostering hope and recovery, I work to empower individuals in achieving their mental health goals & leading fulfilling lives. What sets my practice apart is my ability to form authentic, compassionate connections with people from all walks of life. We begin with an assessment and move forward with building a custom treatment plan.
As a fluent Spanish speaker, I’m able to bridge language & cultural gaps, ensuring care is not only clinically effective, but also deeply personal and inclusive. I would be honored to be your expert guide in identifying the most appropriate treatment options based on your unique biological, psychological, medical, and social needs. Contact us to get started!
