Ana Iris Garcia, A-GNP, PMHNP-BC

"I am a dual Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with a rich background that began in Havana, Cuba, where I earned my doctorate in medicine in 2007. Upon relocating to the US that same year, my commitment to excellence led me to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, culminating in dual certification as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner in 2023. Coming from a family of healthcare professionals and fueled by a passion for science and genuine care for individuals, I am dedicated to providing exceptional and compassionate healthcare. My focus on patient satisfaction and well-being underscores my commitment to delivering personalized care that addresses the unique physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs of each patient. For those grappling with conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic medical …issues, particularly when accompanied by feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and emotional instability, I am here to assist you. Specializing in working with adults and the elderly, my expertise encompasses anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, sleep-wake disorders, and women’s issues, among others. Understanding that every individual is unique, I follow an eclectic approach, tailoring the therapeutic process to meet the distinct needs, goals, and expectations of each patient. Through comprehensive screening tools, psychoeducation, and detailed evaluations, I assess the necessity for pharmacologic treatment, if deemed beneficial. Together, we will collaborate on a personalized treatment plan to enhance your well-being. My practice provides a supportive environment where you will be heard, understood, and acknowledged, ensuring that your needs remain at the forefront of our therapeutic journey."
