MyForteMind was created to help reduce gaps in mental health care and provide a welcoming, respectful, and nonjudgmental space for people from all backgrounds. We believe every person deserves time, attention, and an active voice in their care.

Our approach emphasizes listening, building trust, and taking the time to understand each person’s symptoms, experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. Care is guided by empathy, dignity, collaboration, patient safety, clinical competence, ethical practice, and evidence-based decision-making.

Mafalda Lozano, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Mafalda is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in psychiatric care since 2016. Her work in inpatient psychiatric nursing provided a strong clinical foundation in caring for individuals with a wide range of mental health needs, including complex and acute concerns.

She founded MyForteMind to bring a calm, practical, and collaborative approach to outpatient psychiatric care. Mafalda believes each visit should be meaningful, with clear explanations, thoughtful follow-up, and time for patients to ask questions and understand their options. Her integrative, whole-person approach recognizes the importance of incorporating nutrition and other health and lifestyle factors into psychiatric care.

Our Philosophy: No diagnosis, circumstance, or past experience defines who you are or limits your opportunities for growth, healing, and a meaningful life.
