Ron Vergara
MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Available for Telehealth appointments
“I have over 8 years’ experience working within the medical field. With a diverse background, I have obtained a wealth of knowledge of the different stages of the collective human experience and pride myself in helping individuals and families through these times in their lives.
I believe in viewing each person as an individual, living a truly unique experience that must be treated as such. With a holistic view, I will help customize a treatment plan that encompasses overall health and wellness through diagnostic testing, nutrition, psychotherapy and medications if needed.
Many of us are quick to seek treatment when physical ailments have occurred, while our mental health is often overlooked. My goal is to ensure that you feel heard, that your worries and concerns are addressed. Together we will create a treatment plan that you are comfortable with and know that I will be here to help in your journey.”
