Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Connecticut

Hello and Bienvenidos! I'm Brenda Alderete-Aragon, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). With over 6 years of experience as a PMHNP and more than a decade working in psychiatric and medical nursing, I'm passionate about providing the best mental health care possible. I conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations, manage medications to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes, and educate patients and their families about mental health conditions and coping strategies. I pride myself on maintaining up-to-date medical records and coordinating care to benefit my patients. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I ensure effective communication and a positive experience for my Spanish-speaking patients. Licensed in New Mexico, Texas, and Connecticut, and ANCC certified, my focus is always achieving long-term mental wellness for my patients. Mental health care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of location or circumstance. Through TeleHealth, we offer flexible, high-quality care that removes barriers to treatment, ensuring support is available whenever and wherever it’s needed most. We honor the diversity of our clients by providing culturally sensitive care that respects and incorporates each individual’s cultural, social, and linguistic needs. Our goal is to create an inclusive space where everyone feels understood and supported. I believe that knowledge is power. By educating clients about their mental health conditions and treatment options, we empower them to make informed decisions, take control of their mental health journey, and foster long-term wellness.

Hello! I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping people. After earning my Master's in Nursing from Simmons University in Boston and my Bachelor's from Boston College, I went on to specialize in psychiatric care. I currently work at a Behavioral Health Hospital in CT, where I focus on treating geriatric patients with various mental health conditions. My approach includes supportive, personalized and compassionate care. Previously, I worked at a Private Practice in New Britain, where I prescribed medication, diagnosed and managed treatments for mental health disorders across the life span. I always strive to support my patients and their families through clear communication and comprehensive care plans. Earlier in my career, I was a Registered Nurse at Hartford Hospital's Institute of Living. There, I cared for patients with conditions like depression, dementia, and schizophrenia. I also enjoyed mentoring new nurses and working with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. I'm certified by the American Nurse Credentialing Center as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I'm also trained in Basic Cardiac Life Support. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!
