About

Hey! I’m Joanna Sainvil, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background in Family Nursing. I trained at Buffalo University and have experience providing mental health care in inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings. My approach to treatment is comprehensive, blending medication management with supportive therapy to help individuals navigate conditions such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and interpersonal challenges.

I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your healing journey. With a holistic and evidence-based approach, I strive to provide care that is both solution-focused and tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.
