Welcome! I'm Ruben Salgado, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and other mental health concerns. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and involved in every decision. My goal is to provide evidence-based care in a supportive, judgment-free environment where we work together to help you feel better and build lasting resilience.
When life feels heavier than it should—when your relationship is strained, the path to parenthood feels painful, parenting feels overwhelming, divorce leaves you untethered, or success at work still leaves you feeling stuck—you don’t have to sort through it alone. In addition to working with couples and individuals, I work with startup founders/executives/corporate professionals to drive better outcomes in their professional and personal lives. I offer a warm, collaborative space to help you heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I also support women who are going through infertility.
I have been practicing medicine as a nurse practitioner for 23 years, and psychiatry has always been my passion. My work is driven by caring, empathy, and a genuine love for people. When I meet someone for the first time, I pay close attention to the sadness, anxiety, pain, or confusion they may be experiencing. I listen carefully and begin thinking about how to help them move toward feeling balanced, healthy, and capable in their daily life.
My clinical focus includes mood disorders, attention difficulties, obsessive or intrusive thoughts, sleep issues, anger management, and psychosis. Over the years, I’ve developed a unique approach to medication management—one that combines experience, thoughtful evaluation, and individualized care to give each person the best chance at success.
I genuinely like people, have always love to help ,
Will take my clients through the therapeutic process, with empathy and care for their experience in therapy to be a positive one.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care to individuals across California. With a background in both nursing and psychiatry, I specialize in diagnosing, treating, and supporting patients with a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Pasadena
Finding ADHD therapists in Pasadena starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and routines for focus, planning, and follow-through. Psychiatrists can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Adults and children may also need different kinds of ADHD support, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties, age-group experience, and approach match what you want to work on.
Pasadena has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Los Angeles, so virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, work stress, school challenges, or relationship concerns, which makes relevant experience important. As you compare Pasadena therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Provider bios can help you understand how each therapist works with ADHD and whether their communication style fits your preferences.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find Pasadena therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual appointments, and you can check which insurance plans are accepted for your specific coverage on Headway. You can review profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
