About

About me
Hello, I'm Anita Lopes, and I'm passionate about mental health care. With a background as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse, I have worked across various hospitals and environments. My journey has taken me from India to the United States, where I've gained valuable experience in psychiatry and patient care.

I currently work at Luminous Psychiatric in Schenectady, NY, focusing on adult psychiatric care. Here, I assess and manage mental health needs, ensuring patients receive compassionate and effective support. My experience also includes working in other outpatient clinics, where I assisted in mental health assessments and personalized medication management.

Throughout my career, I've handled a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and more. I believe in a patient-centered approach, where every decision is made with the individual's well-being in mind.

I hold several certifications and licenses, ensuring I bring the best care to my patients. My education includes a master's certification in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Russell Sage College and a Master's in Pediatric Nursing from Mumbai, India.

I am here to help, listen, and support your mental health journey with empathy and expertise. Let's work together towards a healthier and happier you.
 
Treatment philosophy
My treatment philosophy centers on compassionate and patient-centered care. I believe in fully understanding each individual's needs, especially those facing mental health challenges. My approach includes thorough evaluations and creating personalized treatment plans, focused on medication management tailored to each patient's unique situation. Safety and support are my priorities, ensuring a calm environment where patients feel heard and understood. I excel in crisis prevention and management, using my expertise to guide patients through tough times. With a commitment to continuous learning and collaboration, I strive to empower patients on their journey toward wellness and recovery.
