Rosa Smith, MSN, FNP-BC, PMHNP, is a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in mental health. She is the founder of Sunshine Psychiatry in Fort Myers, Florida. Born in South America, Rosa lived in Piura, Peru, before immigrating to the United States in 1990.

Rosa believes offering individualized care based on the client’s needs, concerns, and preferences is important. This includes an interactive, practical, solution-focused approach to help clients resolve current challenges such as depression and anxiety.
Rosa founded Sunshine Psychiatry after witnessing the disparity in psychiatric care—where many practices valued quantity over quality and visits felt rushed. Her team honors each individual’s time and experience, allowing ample time for follow-up consultations. When you visit Sunshine Psychiatry, your experience will be heard.
