We work with patients seeking to uncover the root cause of their symptoms and provide evidence-based solutions. Symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, or mood disorders can manifest in several ways and interfere with day-to-day functioning. If you are experiencing sadness, mood swings, irritability, tiredness, low energy, trouble concentrating, poor sleep, or appetite changes, you have come to the right place! At PsychCare Health & Wellness, we begin with a comprehensive assessment and work with you to devise an evidence-based treatment plan that focuses on your unique needs. We also offer pharmacogenomic tests to guide medication management.
Gloria is a doctorate-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in New Jersey. She has over a decade of experience working with teens & adults in various psychiatric settings, including inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, addiction and recovery, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP).
