Dr. Az del Pino, DNP-PMHNP (he/they)
Workshops
Dr. Az del Pino (pronunciation: A as in Apple) is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, who owns and runs a mental health clinic in Tucson, Arizona. Peacock Mental Health was born out of Dr. Az' experiences as a bi guy with ADHD, feeling stigmatized when accessing healthcare, and the experiences his gender expansive, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients shared of healthcare trauma. They now specialize in medication management and affirming mental health treatment for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or are neurodivergent in some way. Teaching is a passion for Dr. Az who has run guest lectures at the University of Arizona to ensure students are educated in affirming psychiatric care. They also present at therapy practices to bridge the gap between psychotherapy and medication management approaches, creating more spaces where clients have a collaborative and aligned mental health team. Dr. Az also creates and presents educational content including a module on affirming documentation for OutCare Health.
