Evelyn Rosa, MSN, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in child, adolescent, and adult mental health. At Beyond Mental Health and Wellness, patients receive comprehensive, evidence-based psychiatric evaluations and personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. With a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, Evelyn provides expert care for conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and more—helping patients regain balance, clarity, and control of their lives.
With over 28 years of nursing experience, I have dedicated my career to providing
compassionate, patient-centered care across a variety of healthcare settings. Emergency nursing
was my passion for much of my career, where I developed strong clinical skills, critical thinking
abilities, and a deep commitment to supporting patients and families during some of life's most challenging moments.
As my professional journey evolved, I discovered a profound interest in psychiatric nursing and
the transformative impact of mental health care. This passion led me to advance my education
and become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
Today, I specialize in the treatment of grief, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders,
recovery, and more. I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where
individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered in their healing journey. My approach
combines clinical expertise with empathy, helping patients develop the tools and resilience
needed to achieve improved mental wellness and a better quality of life.
Drawing on nearly three decades of nursing experience, I strive to provide comprehensive,
evidence-based care that addresses the unique needs of each individual while fostering hope,
growth, and lasting recovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. While I am direct and passionate, I will challenge you and provide a space where you feel safe. We will probably laugh a lot and explore areas you may never imagined were possible to go. I am caring, open minded and love guiding clients in their journey.
I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.
Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.
As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.
Hello, I’m Dr. Sajid Baig, a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma-related concerns, and co-occurring substance use issues. My approach is based on careful assessment, evidence-based treatment, and a strong commitment to understanding each person’s unique story, strengths, and goals. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings—including outpatient psychiatry, inpatient hospital units, correctional mental health, crisis stabilization, and addiction treatment programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how differently psychiatric conditions can present and how important it is to tailor care to each individual’s circumstances. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or have had prior treatment, I aim to provide clear guidance, steady support, and a treatment plan that feels both effective and collaborative.
I specialize in treating depressive and anxiety-related disorders and mood disorders. I love helping couples and families to get to know each other on a deeper level, whether it's communication or intimacy. My style is empathetic, but also solution-based and goal-oriented. I believe in a holistic approach and uniqueness of each situation. I have a privilege to have an LCADC in my my practice. She has had years of experience working in substance abuse field, and she literally saved lives.

The therapy services I have provided include working with the mentally ill, dual diagnosed, DDD population, ER assessments, inpatient, outpatient, partial care, RTC level of care, and incarcerated individuals. My experience includes but is not limited to the assessment and diagnosis of youth, adults and families.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.
My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.
If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.
