The Connection is the Medicine
As a dermatology and psychiatric NP, psychedelic-assisted therapy facilitator, and speaker, I’m helping shape the conversation around psychodermatology in clinical, research, and wellness spaces. I also serve as President of Sunrise NPPA Derm, where I collaborate with industry and educational partners to empower nurse practitioners and PAs with top-tier dermatology education and strategies for maintaining their integrity as clinicians in the changing healthcare landscape.
Welcome
I'm Patricia Delgado
I’m a Nicaraguan-American, doctorate-prepared, bilingual nurse practitioner working at the intersection of dermatology, psychiatry, and psychedelic science, a space where visible and invisible scars meet.
I believe in the power of integration:
- Pharmaceuticals can be life-changing.
- And so can trauma-informed, somatic, and psychedelic-informed care.
Through my work in patient care, education, and speaking, I advocate for a model of medicine where emotional and physical health are treated as inseparable—because they are.
Let’s move beyond simply managing symptoms.
Let’s understand suffering, restore connection, and expand what’s possible in dermatology—and in healing as a whole.
