Meet RUBIN JOSEPH
I'm Rubin Joseph, a compassionate psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to treating depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
Hello, I’m Rubin Joseph, a compassionate psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 17 years of experience in healthcare, based in Florida. I hold a Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Nova Southeastern University, graduating with highest honors. I specialize in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia using a holistic approach that includes both medication and psychotherapy. My diverse background includes working in intensive care and psychiatric settings, allowing me to understand the complexity of mental health challenges. I am fluent in English, French, and Creole, and proficient in Spanish, ensuring culturally competent care for every patient. My mission is to empower individuals on their mental health journey and provide the support they need to achieve wellness and balance in their lives.
My philosophy
I strongly believe that everyone is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. As a certified professional, I provide both psychotherapy and medication treatment. Many individuals will benefit solely from psychotherapy, while others might also need medication to make progress in life. We will work together to determine the best solution for you.
When you book a session with me, you can expect to meet someone who will understand where you come from, work with you, and not judge you. From the first session, you can expect to feel empowered to confront your fears and begin the journey to improve your mental health.
