Meet Maria Antunez

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Hello, my name is Maria Fernanda Antunez, and I’m a bilingual Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in mental health and have a deep passion for helping adults manage their mental well-being.

Currently, I work with Grow Therapy and Florida Personal Management, providing both in-person and Telehealth services. My focus is on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating adults experiencing behavioral health issues. I also handle medication management and work closely with counselors and therapists to ensure holistic care.

In my roles, I prioritize timely responses and ensure that all assessments and progress notes are completed accurately. My approach is always patient-centered, and I am committed to making each visit as helpful and comforting as possible.

Previously, I worked at Mind and Soul Therapy, where I provided care for adults dealing with depression and anxiety. Additionally, I served as a Registered Nurse for 6 years, caring for critically ill patients and supporting them through various procedures.

I’m dedicated to providing compassionate care and helping my patients navigate their mental health journey. If you need support, I am here to help.

Feel free to book an appointment with me through Headway.

My philosophy


Here's how I approach treatment:
* Building Rapport: Establishing trust and a therapeutic relationship with patients is crucial. I prioritize active listening and empathy.

* Individualized Care Plans: Each patient is unique. Tailoring treatment plans to fit individual needs, preferences, and goals is essential.

* Medications: Prescribe psychotropic medications when necessary, ensuring patients are fully informed about benefits, side effects, and alternatives.

* Therapy: Offer or refer to psychotherapy and other therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I believe in patient empowerment, believing that informed, engaged patients are key to success treatment outcomes.
