Getting to know Luis Ruiz
Mr. Luis Ruiz is an experienced adult psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner. He practices at Bro Therapy & Psychiatry and offers virtual services.
As part of his educational training, Mr. Ruiz earned his master's degree in psychiatric and mental health nursing from Walden University. He provides comprehensive mental health care, addressing conditions like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
He emphasizes evidence-based treatments and personalized strategies to promote emotional well-being. With a patient-centered approach, Mr. Ruiz strives to support people in managing their mental health effectively.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Through my practice, I noticed a significant gap: many men felt they lacked a safe, non-judgmental outlet to discuss their struggles. This observation profoundly impacted me and fueled my passion for creating a dedicated space where men can openly explore their emotions, challenges, and goals. I believe that by fostering these conversations, we can break down stigmas and build stronger, healthier lives. Through therapy and/or medication we can build a new better and stronger foundation for your mental health.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Comprehensive Assessment and Personalized Care
Taking the first step to seek support is a significant one, and I want you to feel comfortable and prepared for what to expect at your appointment with Bro Therapy and Psychiatry.
During our first few appointments, we'll spend time getting to know each other and understanding your current concerns and goals. This will involve a comprehensive assessment to gain a full picture of your mental health, history, and any challenges you're currently facing.
Based on this assessment, we'll work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs and preferences. This plan may include various therapeutic approaches, and I am also equipped to provide diagnostic services to help clarify any underlying conditions.
Optional Medication Regimens
For some individuals, medication can be a valuable component of a comprehensive mental health treatment plan. If appropriate and if we both agree it could be beneficial, I can discuss and provide optional medication regimens. This is always a collaborative decision, and I will thoroughly explain any potential benefits, risks, and alternatives, ensuring you are fully informed to make the best choice for yourself.
My commitment is to empower you in your journey towards improved mental well-being. I look forward to working with you and providing the support you need to grow and thrive.

As someone who struggled with severe depression and anxiety my whole life I was terrified and just held everything in. When I met with him the first time I felt relaxed and it was like I was talking to one of my boys. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted and even others around me have noticed a difference. He helped turn a skeptic into a believer and I have never felt better. 10/10 would recommend.

Since working with him, I’ve gained a better understanding of myself, developed healthier ways of managing stress, and found more confidence in handling life’s challenges. His professionalism, compassion, and genuine care shine through in every session.
I can honestly say that my progress and growth would not have been possible without his help, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Before moving to New York, I used to see Dr. Luis regularly, and I genuinely can’t speak highly enough of him or his practice. As a man, opening up about emotions has never come easy for me—but Luis changed that. From the very first session, he made me feel like I wasn’t just talking to a psychiatrist, but to a brother—someone who truly listened without judgment and understood where I was coming from.
There’s a rare comfort in speaking to someone who feels like they’ve known you for years, even if it’s your first time meeting. That’s what Luis brings to the table. He creates an environment that’s safe, respectful, and completely free of pretense. His insight, calm demeanor, and ability to get to the root of things made a huge impact on my mental and emotional health.
Leaving his care was one of the hardest parts of moving away. If you’re considering therapy and want someone who’s not just professional, but truly genuine.
