I am Osvaldo Vazquez, a dedicated and compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner fluent in both English and Spanish. Throughout my career, I have always been focused on providing patient-centered care. Currently, I am serving at Florida Medical Center Group and Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, where I perform initial psychiatric evaluations, provide follow-up consultations, diagnose and treat psychiatric disorders, and prescribe necessary medications. My goal is to ensure the overall well-being of my patients. With experience in various healthcare settings, including Southern Winds Hospital and VITAS Hospice Care, I have honed my skills in administering medications, performing assessments, and ensuring comprehensive patient care. My background also includes experience as a general doctor, endoscopist, and mental therapist, providing a broad base of medical knowledge and understanding. I am committed to offering compassionate care and support to all my patients, helping them manage their mental health and integrate into society. Whether it's through direct face-to-face interactions or understanding complex conditions, my aim is to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe in a holistic approach to mental health treatment, addressing not only the psychological symptoms but also the physical, emotional, and social factors that contribute to a patient’s well-being. Each individual is unique, and treatment plans will be tailored to meet their specific needs, incorporating therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and community support.

Hello, I’m Liz Comstock, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to providing specialized mental health care for those who serve the public. With over 10 years of critical care nursing experience in top East Coast hospitals—including 4.5 years in DC’s leading trauma and burn resuscitation unit—I’ve worked closely with healthcare professionals, emergency responders, military personnel, and law enforcement officers. Through these experiences, I have gained firsthand insight into the immense pressures and emotional burdens faced by those in public service. I understand the unique challenges of maintaining mental health while working in high-stress, high-stakes environments. That’s why I provide personalized, stigma-free psychiatric care that prioritizes both symptom relief and professional functionality. My goal is to create a safe, confidential space where those who dedicate their lives to others can prioritize their own mental well-being. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, or the emotional toll of your profession, I am here to help. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that fits your needs—one that supports both your personal well-being and your professional responsibilities. Treatment Philosophy: I believe that mental health care for public servants should be accessible, stigma-free, and tailored to the unique pressures of their roles. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments with a deep understanding of public service culture, ensuring that care supports both emotional well-being and professional functionality. I create a judgment-free space where healthcare professionals, military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders can seek support without fear, allowing them to regain balance, resilience, and fulfillment.
