Welcome! I’m Roberta Giorgi, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional wellness through personalized, current evidence-based mental health care.

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a unique and deeply rooted perspective to patient care—combining clinical excellence with firsthand experience across hospital systems, addiction recovery, and community-based mental health. As a PMHNP-BC and past Advanced Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (Adv-CASAC), I specialize in helping clients overcome emotional and behavioral challenges.

My background includes currently delivering direct inpatient psychiatric care in hospital settings, managing acute mental health crises, and coordinating care for individuals with complex psychiatric and medical needs. I’ve worked extensively with: all Substance Use Disorders (Alcohol, Heroin, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine/Crack Cocaine, Ecstasy, Mushrooms, Methamphetamines, Cannabis/K2, Nicotine/Vape, etc.) and provide Medication-Assisted Treatment: Naltrexone, Suboxone, Sublocade, etc.

I specialize in tailoring psychotropic medications to treat psychological disorders including Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Anger Management, Impulse Control Disorder, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disorder/Insomnia, Grief Therapy, Work/Stress Balance Support and Intergenerational Acculturation Trauma and tailoring Behavioral Interventions for children, teens, LGBTQ+, adults, couples and families.

I’m Justyna Rzewinski, PhD (c), LCSW, founder of Justice Journey Wellness LLC. I provide trauma-informed, compassionate therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, and the lasting impact of incarceration or systemic trauma.

Therapy can be healing, communicative, and an avenue to self-discovery. It can be a way to access social skills, self-expression, and self-awareness.. Whatever the goal, utilizing the power of music as a vehicle towards these processes can be very effective. (Some of my goals and techniques are featured in a Psychology Today article on 2/18/21 "Increase Coping and Resilience by Writing a Song").

I offer a compassionate, honest, supportive and tailored approach to individuals and families seeking therapy. I connect with a diverse population of individuals, from all walks of life and varying ages who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma and family conflict.

Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable and overwhelming and taking this first step often requires courage. If you are feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, you do not have to navigate it alone. My priority is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. Together, we will make sense of your story, explore the challenges you are carrying, and work toward meaningful change.

When you're constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, or questions about your identity, therapy can help you break free from the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence, and develop practical tools so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of your life.

I created Park West Wellness with a clear mission: to help people move through life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and support. I am dedicated to helping you envision a meaningful future and step into the strongest version of yourself.

I received my MSW from the University of Southern California and later moved back to my home state of New York, where I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am independently licensed in both the state of New York and California.

I am a capable, experienced therapist who values creativity and individual expression, I believe therapy to be a collaborative effort, that can lead to a better self view and to obtaining more enjoyment - both individually and through one's relationships.
