Claudia Almeida, Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner

I am an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes true healing begins by reconnecting with your body and exploring the emotional roots of your struggles. I help adults who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, trauma (CPTSDPTSD), emotional eating or ADHD find a path forward. My approach cares for the whole person, mind, body, and spirit through nutrition, lifestyle, mind-body practices, labwork, genetic and hormone testing. When medication is part of treatment, it is used thoughtfully as part of a broader plan. My approach is compassionate and action-focused, offering education and structured tools that help you build skills in session and carry them into your everyday life, ensuring growth beyond our work together. If you’re ready to explore a more empathic, whole-person approach to healing, I invite you to reach out. Together we can uncover the roots of your struggles and create a plan that guides you to lasting well-being.

At Terra Nova Psychiatry, I begin with the premise that medication alone is not a cure, it can improve brain function and slow down racing thoughts, but true healing happens when you reconnect with your body, mind and spirit, by exploring the emotional and roots of your pain. My goal during treatment is to calm your mind and create mental space for deeper therapeutic work. It is a collaborative, sacred process. You are not here to be fixed, but to be seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with your truest self. My approach is thoughtful and integrative. I don’t just treat symptoms, I listen to your lived experience, your hopes, and your values. Symptoms are messengers, not definitions, and together we’ll explore them with curiosity, compassion, and respect for all the layers of your story. Healing asks for presence and effort, and I will meet your commitment with equal care, consistency, and dedication. What you invest, you will receive.
