Brianna Ayala, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
ANCC Board Certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Hi, I'm Brianna Ayala. I'm a dual board-certified Pediatric and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a big heart for children, teens, and the families who love them.
Originally from New Jersey, I now call Florida home with my husband, our four children, and our dog. You'll often find us outside-at the beach, watching sunsets, and soaking up time together whenever we can.
MY WHY
I aspire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families I care for - helping young people build confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being while supporting families every step of the way.
MY FOUNDATION
My passion for caring for young minds started early. I earned my nursing degree from Brookdale Community College and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Thomas Edison State University.
I went on to earn my Pediatric Nurse Practitioner degree and later completed my post-master's certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner through Regis College.
MY EXPERIENCE
I've had the privilege of caring for children in the NICU, PICU, and in pediatric inpatient settings.
Those experiences shaped me, not just as a provider, but as a person. My journey into psychiatry became deeply personal after becoming a NICU parent to my own micro preemie. That chapter of my life gave me a new level of empathy and an even stronger commitment to supporting families through some of their hardest moments.
MY FOCUS
While working in pediatric neurology, I discovered my passion for supporting children and adolescents through neurodivergence, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health
challenges. I specialize in caring for kids ages 5+ and have experience with:
- ADHD diagnosis and treatment
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Behavioral concerns
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Neurodevelopmental disorders
- School difficulties
- Social challenges
MY PHILOSOPHY
I believe every child and family deserves to feel heard, respected, and truly seen. I believe in meeting each child where they are and empowering both them and their families with knowledge, tools, and support.
My approach is collaborative and individualized - there is no one-size-fits-all in mental health care. I take time to listen, provide personalized care, and help families feel confident and supported in their decisions.
Together, we create a safe space where healing, growth, and hope can thrive.
Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey.
