My name is Luis Rosas, PMHNP-BC, and I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a background in emergency nursing and mental health. I’ve spent years caring for patients in high-stress and crisis settings, which taught me the value of resilience, compassion, and meeting people where they are. I provide care for adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance use challenges. My mission is to help clients regain balance, build strength, and move toward the life they want with clarity and confidence.

I am dual board-certified as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with a passion for functional medicine. I believe mental health is best addressed by looking at the whole person—mind, body, and soul. I’ve been working in healthcare for over 20 years. Through my experience in mental health, I have the privilege of working with adults aged 21–60. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, and eating disorders, offering a safe and respectful space for growth and healing.

I am a dual-certified Acute Care Adult and Gerontology and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of diverse clinical experience. I have cared for patients of all ages in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of environments, developing a strong background in critical care, mental health, and education. I believe in holistic care, treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. My approach combines medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and patient education to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient.
