About Me.
Hi, my name is Mozart M. Telles, RN, a future Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in Massachusetts, and a seasoned psychiatric mental health nurse. My dedication to this specialized field has driven me to pursue the highest standards of patient care, making mental wellness my foremost priority.
​
My professional journey began as a Combat Medic Specialist in the U.S. Army, an experience that instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility, urgency, and precision. It was during this time that I realized my calling in psychiatric care, a path that would allow me to make a significant impact on individuals struggling with mental health issues.
I have since dedicated myself to acquiring the knowledge, skills, and certifications necessary to excel in psychiatric mental health nursing. From administering medications to assessing treatment success and engaging patients in therapeutic activities, my experience is both broad and in-depth. I've served various populations, ranging from children to adults, across diverse healthcare environments, including emergency units, inpatient facilities, and overflow units.
As I continue to advance my career, I am guided by the core values of compassion, empathy, critical thinking, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my patients, nurturing their mental well-being while promoting a broader understanding and acceptance of mental health in the community.
My future as a PMHNP holds the promise of deeper engagement with mental health patients, providing not only medical care but also emotional and psychological support. I envision a practice that is holistic, evidence-based, and deeply attuned to the unique needs of each individual.
In embracing the multifaceted nature of psychiatric care, I find fulfillment and purpose in my work. It's not just a profession for me, but a lifelong mission to contribute positively to mental health awareness, treatment, and recovery.
