Professional statement

Rachel Mihalos is a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in East Providence, Rhode Island. She is dedicated to supporting your mental health journey with compassion and expertise, providing a safe and non-judgmental space where your unique needs will be addressed collaboratively.

Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being, and Rachel is here to listen and help you navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and more. With experience working in psychiatric hospitals and outpatient community mental health centers, Rachel have supported teenagers and adults living with a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, ADHD, and adjustment disorders related to life stressors.

Her approach is holistic and collaborative, aiming to understand your individual circumstances and story to develop a personalized treatment plan. While medication management is an important tool, she also prioritizes supportive therapy as a key component of treatment. She dedicated 60 minutes for initial intake appointments and 30 minutes for follow-ups to ensure that your concerns are thoroughly addressed. The first appointment will be in-person at her East Providence office to facilitate a personal connection and a comprehensive understanding of your needs. For follow-up appointments, telehealth options are available if you prefer and have access to a private space, although follow-up appointments are also available in-person.

Rachel is committed to staying informed about the latest advancements in mental health treatment to provide you with the best possible care.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation or appointment, please feel free to reach out.
