JOANA MILLA -VIADEVITA HEALTH
Hello, I'm Joana Milla, a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience in mental health care. I specialize in treating patients of all ages, from teens to the elderly, ensuring everyone receives the care they need.

As a compassionate and experienced psychiatric practitioner, I am committed to supporting individuals on their journey toward behavioral well-being. I specialize in helping clients navigate various conditions by integrating evidence-based therapies and medication management. My comprehensive care includes support for medication use, along with standardized testing and screening to evaluate and identify conditions such as Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, ADHD, Trauma, social anxiety, insomnia, Eating disorders, Body image anxiety, and finally, elaborate and meet your therapeutic goals.

I am dedicated to providing a caring and holistic approach. I firmly believe in treating each individual as a whole - addressing the needs of the mind, body, and spirit in unison. Our journey together will involve delving into your distinct emotional landscape and collaboratively formulating personalized strategies for your healing journey.

I'm certified in several areas, including psychiatric-mental health across the lifespan, crisis intervention, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Additionally, I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, which helps me connect with a broader range of patients.

Our sessions will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to express yourself freely. I will actively listen to validate and understand your experiences. It's important to emphasize that we are partners in your healing journey. Your input and decisions are essential in creating the appropriate treatment. Let's work together to achieve resilience, self-compassion, growth, and lasting emotional wellness.
