Psychiatric Provider

Psychiatric Nurse Patric Testa

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed to diagnose and prescribe medications for mental health conditions. My experience includes working in outpatient, residential, and inpatient mental health.

In my practice, I use medication and complementary approaches to treat patients. Medications can be an important component of treatment. We prescribe medications cautiously, considering best practice, target symptoms, side effects, and patient preference. 

My goal is to work together with patients to develop a treatment plan that is both evidence-based and tailored to their goals. 

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, tennis, reading, and spending time with my wife, son, and dog.
