 Adrian Avila provides a full range of primary mental health care services, including biopsychosocial assessment and diagnosis of patients with mental illness and co-occurring disorders. Treatment modalities include both medication and psychotherapeutic management. Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) works in various locations, providing Telehealth and in-person appointments. Adrian takes a more holistic approach that considers all aspects of human health that may one day set you free, require lesser use of these outside tools, and rely on more natural and less intrusive methods. I recognize that we all have experiences that define us, and the best I can often do to even hope of helping anyone is to listen. You can’t get to a solution if you don’t understand the problem.
