Tell us something about you we probably don’t know. I make Hawaiian-style shirts. I point out to patients I never thought to do so, and I had no sewing experience, but when challenged to try, rather than saying “I can’t do that!” or “it’s impossible!” I met the challenge with curiosity, and, with practice, it became my main hobby. I often wear them to work. If you see m in a loud colorful aloha-style shirt, it is likely my own.

Rebecca Reza, PMHNP

As a Psychiatric Mental-Health Nurse Practitioner my goal is to help you improve your mental health and overall well-being through self-discovery and empowerment. In a nonjudgmental environment, we will discuss your thoughts, experiences, and behaviors, and work together to formulate an individualized treatment plan that aligns with your goals, beliefs, and personal values.

Healing and wellness are best achieved when the mind, body, and spirit are in balance; therefore, I use an integrative approach that promotes a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, mindfulness, and personal development, in conjunction with medication management, when indicated, and therapy. I utilize person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) to assist adolescents and adults who are struggling with unipolar or bipolar depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, hiking with my dog, paddleboarding, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
