About Helder
I am a dually board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), providing compassionate telepsychiatry and medication management to adults across New Jersey.
My philosophy is holistic and collaborative, where I aim to create a non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard.
Treatment Approach: My medication management is evidence-based, prioritizing favorable safety profiles and low dependence potential. I do not prescribe controlled substances for long-term use. I integrate supportive therapy techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to build practical coping skills.
Affirming Care: I am deeply committed to providing LGBTQ+ Affirming and Culturally Competent care. I offer all services fluently in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
