Our Team
Rachel Ortiz
MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C
Owner
Rachel is a board-certified nurse practitioner, dual licensed and experienced in both family practice and psychiatric and mental health nursing. She graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a Master of Science in Nursing in 2018.
She built the foundation of her career working with underserved and culturally diverse populations in the community health setting as a family nurse practitioner. In this role, she focused on meeting the needs of the community and gained experience in primary care, women’s health and obstetrics, and addiction medicine. Through this work, she developed a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of mental and physical health, as well as the growing gap in accessible, comprehensive mental health services.
Rachel returned to Middle Tennessee State University to earn a post-master’s certificate in psychiatric and mental health nursing, allowing her to better support the evolving needs of the patients she serves.
As a lifelong learner, Rachel is currently completing a fellowship in integrative psychiatry through Psychiatry Redefined. This advanced training focuses on identifying and addressing root causes of mental health conditions, incorporating lifestyle and functional approaches, and thoughtfully using medication as one piece of a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. Her approach emphasizes reducing medication burden when appropriate while enhancing overall wellness and long-term outcomes.
Driven by this philosophy, Rachel founded Ruby Mental Wellness, a holistic psychiatric practice dedicated to promoting healing, balance, and vitality.
