Welcome! My name is Robyn Tenenbaum, and I am a board certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I have been with Salveo Integrative Health since October of 2016. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Florida, and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

I specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various psychiatric conditions. I believe in personalized, collaborative care, working to tailor plans to meet the unique needs of each patient. Whether you are a child, adolescent, adult or senior, I am here to provide comprehensive and empathetic care. I value teamwork and integrative holistic approaches for a well-rounded mental health strategy.

Outside of clinical practice, I enjoy spending time giving back to the community, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and enjoying time with family and friends.

I am a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 12 years of nursing experience in psychiatry . As a certified NP , I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health disorders, providing comprehensive and compassionate care to support the well-being of my clients.  

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I treat anxiety, depression, couple's issues, burnout, stress, and Bipolar Disorder. I absolutely love my job and am forever amazed at people's resiliency and strength as they overcome the difficulties and challenges of their lives.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention are my modalities. I like to fit my treatment specifically to my client's or clients' needs in a non-judgmental, positive, comfortable, and safe environment.

I am not trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), so I do not treat Borderline Personality Disorder or Disordered Eating. Also, I am not
trained in treating active substance addictions or process addictions, though I can assist once patients are in recovery.

Our lives are mixtures of many things like love, beauty, pain, tragedy, success, failure, big victories, small victories, big traumas, small traumas, health, injuries, illnesses, heartache, adventure, and millions of other things. Ideally,
we learn from all of them, accept what is real, adapt and keep moving forward.
