Alberto Aguirre, PMHNP-BC

Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, educator, and builder focused on clear education, culturally aware care, and whole-person psychiatry.

None of us are born with an instruction manual for life.

Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are shaped by what we see, what we are taught, what we survive, and the support that may have been missing. My work is built around helping people understand those patterns with compassion, education, and healthier ways forward.

I know what it feels like to grow up without a clear map, and I know how powerful it can be when someone finally helps you build one.

Whole-Person Approach

Evidence-Based Care

Culturally Aware & Collaborative

Claridad means clarity.

Claridad Integrated Care is my professional home today and the foundation for a future practice. It reflects how I think about psychiatric care: clear education, cultural awareness, evidence-based practice, therapy collaboration, and the connection between mind and body.
