Getting to know Nalina Mendez

Nalina Mendez is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care through telehealth. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and substance use concerns. Her approach combines medication management with therapy-informed support, including CBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing. Nalina’s goal is to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their treatment plan.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want clients to know that care with me is collaborative, respectful, and practical. I take time to understand your symptoms, history, goals, and concerns before making treatment recommendations. My goal is not to rush you or push medication, but to help you better understand your options and create a plan that feels realistic for your life. I value open communication, shared decision-making, and creating a space where you feel heard without judgment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During the first visit, we review your current concerns, mental health history, medical history, medications, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. From there, we discuss possible diagnoses, treatment options, medication considerations, and therapy-based strategies when appropriate. Follow-up appointments focus on monitoring progress, side effects, symptom changes, and adjusting the treatment plan as needed. I aim to keep care collaborative, clear, and focused on helping you feel more stable and supported in daily life.
