Getting to know Yanet Moreda Mendez
I am a bilingual, dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, double board certified by AANP and AANC. I received my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from St. Thomas University and also hold a Master's in Adult Health Nursing from South University, Savannah. I have been practicing for 7 years, helping young adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves.
I conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations to assess patients' mental health conditions and formulate accurate diagnoses. I utilize evidence-based diagnostic tools and clinical interviews to identify mental health disorders. I collaborate with patients and their families to develop personalized treatment plans and prescribe and manage psychotropic medications for patients with various mental health conditions.
I believe that effective communication is key in fostering a strong therapeutic relationship, which is why I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment where my patients feel heard and supported. By working collaboratively with my patients, we brainstorm ideas, develop personalized plans of care, and set achievable goals that align with their unique needs and preferences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Attending your first session with a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PNP) can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to expect can help ease some anxiety. Before the session, it's helpful to gather relevant medical records, a list of medications, and notes about your mental health history. During the session, I will introduce myself, discuss confidentiality, conduct a thorough assessment, and potentially provide a preliminary diagnosis. They will also outline potential treatment options, which may include medication, therapy, or lifestyle changes. It's important to ask questions, express any concerns, and clarify next steps. After the session, you may receive instructions for follow-up appointments and additional support resources. To make the most of your session, be honest, note your treatment goals, and list your symptoms. By being prepared and communicating openly, we can work together towards a successful treatment plan.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session with me as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), clients can expect a supportive and structured approach focused on understanding their current mental health concerns and overall well-being. Here's what typically happens:
Intake and Assessment: I will begin by asking questions to gather comprehensive information about the client's current symptoms, medical history, family history, and any previous treatments or therapies they have undergone.
Building Rapport: Establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential. I will listen attentively and create a non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and concerns.
Diagnosis and Formulation: Based on the information gathered, I will provide a preliminary diagnosis if appropriate and discuss my understanding of the client's situation. This helps in collaboratively formulating a treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.
Treatment Planning: Together, we will discuss various treatment options available, which may include medication, therapy modalities (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or supportive therapy), lifestyle modifications, and self-care strategies.
Education: I will educate clients about their condition, treatment options, potential side effects of medications, and what to expect from therapy. This ensures informed decision-making and empowers clients to actively participate in their care.
Goal Setting: We will set realistic and achievable goals for treatment, focusing on improving symptoms, enhancing coping skills, and promoting overall mental well-being.
Follow-Up Plan: I will outline a plan for follow-up appointments to monitor progress, adjust treatments as needed, and provide ongoing support. Throughout the session, I aim to convey empathy, respect, and a commitment to helping clients achieve their mental health goals. Clients can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach.
