Hi, I’m Patrick Gonzales, NP

I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to mental and physical well-being, where addressing the underlying causes of mental health concerns, hormone imbalances, and weight challenges leads to transformative and lasting change.

By combining evidence-based psychiatry with personalized TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) and weight management strategies (GLP-1/Semaglutide), I empower my patients to achieve optimal health, vitality, and a renewed sense of confidence in their daily lives.

I have personally struggled with depression and anxiety during my adolescent and young adult years, and I understand what it feels like to have suicidal thoughts and to hit rock bottom. My own journey as a patient, particularly with a condition called achalasia, helped me realize that my purpose in life is to help others heal.

After overcoming my mental health challenges, I focused on improving myself physically and spiritually, while also furthering my education. I was an amateur bodybuilder while completing both nursing and graduate school. My lived experience with depression has allowed me to empathize deeply with my patients, and I’ve seen firsthand how a trusting relationship with a provider plays a crucial role in the healing process, alongside guidance in improving physical health.
