Lourdes Benitez, PMHNP-BC

Lourdes Benitez, PMHNP-BC

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NY
I began my nursing career as a Registered Nurse in 2016 and advanced my training to become a Family Nurse Practitioner-Certified (FNP-C) in 2020. In 2025, I completed my certification as a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (PMHNP-BC), allowing me to fully integrate my passion for mental health into my clinical practice. Over the years, I have gained diverse experience across multiple states and communities. I have worked in community mental health settings in Florida, served in Washington State providing frontier medicine in a remote rural environment for nine months, and currently practice in New York within a community mental health organization, where I have been serving since October. I have a strong dedication to patient-centered care and a deep commitment to serving underserved and vulnerable populations. My professional interests include trauma informed care, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and improving access to high-quality psychiatric services. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities, traveling, and exploring new places—experiences that have shaped my adaptability, cultural awareness, and connection to the people I serve. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care and supporting individuals on their journey toward wellness and stability.
