Santina Salerno, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC

Hi! My name is Santina Salerno, and I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience, including extensive work in mental health care.

I provide collaborative, patient-centered mental health care that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and individualized, evidence-based treatment.

My approach integrates thoughtful medication management with a holistic understanding of mental health.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults, supporting clarity, stability, and long-term wellness.

My Approach

I take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to mental health care.

Treatment goes beyond symptom management to explore the broader picture - including sleep, physical health, stress, and life circumstances.

Care is collaborative and individualized. Some may be looking for clarity after trying multiple approaches, while others are seeking stability and support through more complex challenges.

We move at a pace that feels manageable, with a focus on what is both effective and sustainable.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported in finding what truly works for you.

Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation

A thorough, collaborative assessment to understand the full picture - your symptoms, history, and what has been working (and what hasn’t).

Together, we create a personalized plan that feels clear and manageable.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Ongoing medication management that is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to you.

We regularly assess effectiveness, side effects, and overall well-being to ensure your treatment stays aligned with your goals.

Deprescribing

When clinically appropriate, we may explore carefully reducing or simplifying medication as part of your treatment plan. Deprescribing is a thoughtful, collaborative process focused on safety, effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being - never a one-size-fits-all approach.
