About

For psychiatric medication management in Chula Vista, Argenis Mendoza practices as a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner through LifeStance Health at 2300 Boswell Road, Suite 275. Credentialed with a PMHNP-BC certification and a post-master's certificate in psychiatric mental health nursing from West Coast University, Mendoza prescribes psychotropic medications whose dosing and interactions coordinate with dispensing providers such as Sunrise Pharmacy. Active in nursing since 2004, Mendoza treats adults ages 18 through 64 for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, and psychotic spectrum conditions. Treatment protocols integrate acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based strategies alongside medication, a dual approach that parallels the integrative mental health model at complementary providers such as SoCal Wellness. Prescribing protocols incorporate pharmacogenomic considerations and evidence-based titration schedules for SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers, with laboratory monitoring to track hepatic and renal function throughout treatment.
