Getting to know Helder Mendes

I’m Helder Mendes, a dually board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), and founder of Emerald Psych LLC. I provide telehealth psychiatry and medication management to adults across all of New Jersey - evenings and weekends available. I bring over 19 years of healthcare experience to my practice, having gained the both the experience and perspective to understand the deep connection between your physical health, daily life, and mental well-being. I specialize in anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood disorders, and life transitions. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and am committed to culturally sensitive treatment that honors your background and identity. I understand the unique pressures of navigating different cultures and the courage it takes to live authentically. You deserve a space where every part of your story is deeply understood. Sessions are available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish - because mental health care is most effective when you can express yourself in the language that feels most natural. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to support you.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
