About
Maria Pontiero, MSN, PMHNP-BC

Ciao! My name is Maria Pontiero. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with training in nutritional psychiatry, integrative psychiatry, hormone balance/replenishment, and transgender hormone therapy.
​
My approach involves utilizing prescribed medication alongside holistic methods to promote the whole person. Delving deeper looking into gut-brain connection, nutrient levels, nutrition, thyroid, hormones, sleep, exercise, stress, and lifestyle. I also believe that therapy is an important element in your mental health journey to healing and I can provide referrals to licensed therapists targeting your goals.
