Hello! My name is Gerson, and I'm a Mayo Clinic-trained, bilingual (Spanish/English) Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at Stella Mental Health. I specialize in helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. Many patients come to me feeling stuck after traditional medications haven't provided the relief they need. Using a holistic approach, I guide them toward lasting wellness through precise medication management and advanced, biologically-informed care, including Spravato (esketamine), TMS, ketamine-assisted therapy, and integration therapy. Ofrezco atención psiquiátrica bilingüe para la comunidad hispanohablante.
With a background in Kinesiology, I integrate the mind-body connection into your care, using lifestyle and somatic awareness to support true healing. I focus purely on psychiatric evaluations and pharmacologic medication management, actively collaborating with your therapist (if needed) to ensure a unified, comprehensive approach to your mental health.
Navigating mental health challenges can feel overwhelming, especially if past treatments haven't worked. You don't have to figure it out alone. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where you feel truly heard. Reach out today to schedule an initial assessment, and let's work together to find the relief you deserve.
