Paulo Vilela Rodrigues, Nurse Practitioner

Paulo Vilela Rodrigues, PhD, MS, PMHNP

Paulo Vilela Rodrigues supports adolescents, teens, and adults across Washington with thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care focused on improving daily functioning and overall well-being. As a prescribing clinician providing medication management, he partners with clients to address conditions such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, helping them better understand their symptoms and find effective, personalized treatment options. He has a strong clinical focus on treating anxiety, depression, and ADHD, while also supporting individuals experiencing complex conditions such as OCD, PTSD, and sleep disorders. Paulo integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles into his care to help patients build practical skills alongside medication management. His experience extends to working with diverse populations, including first responders, military members and veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals, and he offers additional areas of expertise to meet a wide range of mental health needs. Paulo takes a patient-centered and collaborative approach, combining his background in neuroscience with compassionate care. He is committed to providing clear education about diagnoses and treatment options, so patients feel informed and empowered throughout their mental health journey.

Fluent in Portuguese, Paulo is able to connect with and support a broader community. Outside of his clinical work, he enjoys playing classical guitar, building acoustic instruments, hiking, and backpack camping—activities that reflect his appreciation for creativity and balance.
