Teava Mercado, pmhnp-bc

Hello there! My name is TeAva Mercado and I started my career as a labor and delivery nurse, where I had a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful and overwhelming seasons of a woman's life.

I watched women pour everything into the people around them while quietly running on empty, and I noticed how rarely anyone stopped to ask how they were really doing.

That stayed with me. It led me to become a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in women's and perinatal mental health, so I could support women through the anxiety, the burnout, the postpartum struggles, and that quiet ache of feeling like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way.

These days, I offer Telehealth therapy for women across California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and New York, and my goal is simple: I want you to feel like yourself again.

My approach is warm, real, and a little bit fun, because therapy shouldn't feel cold or clinical. This is a space where you get to set down everything you've been carrying, be honest without judgment, and feel genuinely safe, supported, and celebrated.

You spend so much of your life showing up for everyone else. Consider this the place that's just for you!
