Welcome to Salvaje Minds Associates! My name is Dr. Madeleine “Salvaje” Reyes, founder and CEO of Salvaje Minds Associates. I am a Psychiatric Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who is board certified to see individuals across the lifespan. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing- Advanced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner from Florida International University (FIU) in 2017 and my Doctorate in Nursing Practice in the mental health field in 2019. Moreover, I have extensive experience working with clients across a lifespan in outpatient services and at correctional facilities. In addition, I work as a faculty member for countless Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Graduate Nursing Programs nationwide. I have worked professionally in multiple community- based research settings, including pediatric patients with mental health illnesses. My most recent publication is a Systematic Review: An Educational Strategy to Improve Medication Compliance and Decrease Hospital Readmission among Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder, which was presented at the Neuroscience Educational Institute in November 2019.

On a Personal Note...
I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where the endless days of summer have also meant regular worries about Hurricanes! However, my professional pursuits took me to Maine, where I found myself flourishing following a decision during the pandemic to travel as a nurse, in a bid to alleviate the nationwide nursing shortage and mental health crisis. This decision ultimately brought me to Portland, where I found myself with an overgrowing curiosity and affinity for its local scene and culture, in addition to having the opportunity to experience different seasons for the very first time in my life. Welcome to Salvaje Minds Associates — it is an honor to meet you!
