About Alicia Sandoval-Alexander, NP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
I aim to treat children, adolescents and adults with symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, oppositional defiance, conduct disorders, attention-deficit disorders and other mental health conditions. Whether an individual is in childhood or adulthood, mental health affects how we think, feel, act, and it influences our ability to cope with stress, make decisions, and form relationships. Neglecting mental health can lead to a decline in overall quality of life. Early identification and intervention can lead to better outcomes and reduce the long-term impact of mental health issues. It’s important to seek care with a provider who understands the importance of your individual needs and formulate appropriate treatment plans.
