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.

Luis is great and truly listens. I didn’t feel rushed, could ask my questions, and he explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend him!!
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.
I am truly grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received from Luis. He has created such a safe and welcoming space where I always feel comfortable opening up. His ability to listen with empathy, while also providing clear and practical strategies, has made a meaningful difference in my life. 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!
Luis has a calm and reassuring presence that immediately puts me at ease. He takes the time to listen attentively, and I always feel heard and understood in our conversations. He is quick to respond whenever I have a matter that needs attention, which gives me great confidence in his care. Luis is also highly knowledgeable about the medications he prescribes. He carefully ensures they are working as intended and adjusts as needed, making me feel that my health and well-being are his priority. His appointments never feel rushed; instead, he creates a welcoming environment where I feel supported and valued.

It was great Luis is efficient and respectful.
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.
Excellent care!
I’ve been seeing Luis for almost a year now . He has helped me through some extremely challenging situations ,and has guided me through the highs and lows of life.Extraordinary compassionate, easy going, non judgmental at all, really goes above and beyond like no other professional does now a days.
I can’t thank these guys enough for their care and compassion. Luis is extremely attentive to my needs and always makes me feel at ease whenever we have our sessions. He is always there to take my calls even if they are after-hours. He consistently exceeds my expectations and I would hghly recommend this practice.
I recently saw APRN Lu for a psych evaluation and it was an incredibly positive experience. He created a safe and welcoming environment where I felt free to express my thoughts without fear of judgment. Thanks to him, he helped me regain my confidence.
