About the Owner
Anthea Mendez – Throughout a considerable part of my life I have been dedicated myself to the improvement of people’s physical health, and now I am fully equipped with competence and knowledge for the development in a new area. First, I would like to say that I consider myself highly honored to receive an opportunity to help patients with mental health disorders and improve their emotional well-being and life in general. I consider myself a skilled nurse practitioner due to more than 20 years of relevant experience in acute care, advocating for patient needs, and the provision of expert-level health care.
The Insipration
Anthea’s son, Phoenix, was part of the inspiration for the name for Phoenix Psychiatry. During her pregnancy and Phoenix’s infancy she started to build the idea of expanding Primary Prevention Homecare with a sister company specializing in mental health and self care.
