Welcome to Rooted Wellness

Meet Dr. Eddie

My name is Dr. Eddie, and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to helping others thrive. My approach is rooted in providing personalized, compassionate, and evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique journey.

 

My healthcare career began in 2008 as an intensive care and special procedures nurse, experiences that deeply shaped my understanding of the mind-body connection. Inspired by these roles, I pursued my Doctorate in Nursing Practice at Arizona State University, focusing on the interplay between chronic illnesses, cardiac health, and mental well-being, earning my degree in 2015.

 

With over a decade of experience in diverse mental health settings—including community health, private practice, and crisis inpatient care—I have had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life. These experiences have informed my holistic and trauma-informed approach to care. I treat patients across the lifespan, from age 6 to 99, and have a special passion for supporting individuals who have experienced complex trauma. To promote healing and growth, I integrate innovative therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy.

 

I am particularly passionate about supporting teachers and first responders, offering discounted care to honor their invaluable contributions to our communities. At Rooted Wellness, my mission is to provide a safe and welcoming space where your well-being is the priority. My goal is to address not just symptoms but the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—so you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

 

Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your mental health journey. It’s an honor to walk alongside you toward healing and growth.

We pride ourselves on a holistic approach to medication management services. We aim to treat  the whole person, considering both physical and emotional health, to help clients explore pharmacological options effectively. Our dedicated team works closely with each individual to create personalized treatment plans that align with their unique needs and goals. By fostering open communication and support, we empower clients make informed decisions about their medication journey.

Medication Deprescribing

At Rooted Wellness AZ, I offer a unique service called deprescribing, where I collaborate closely with clients to reduce reliance on medication when clinically appropriate. This process involves a thorough evaluation of your current treatment plan, exploring safe and effective alternatives such as targeted supplementation and lifestyle interventions. My goal is to minimize, and in some cases, eliminate the need for medications while maintaining or improving mental health and overall well-being. By prioritizing a personalized and integrative approach, I aim to empower clients to achieve balance and long-term health.

PMHNP Mentorship

At Rooted Wellness, we are committed to the professional development of future psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). Our mentorship program aims to provide guidance, support, and hands-on experience to aspiring PMHNPs, empowering them to become confident and competent practitioners.
