Our Providers

Alfredo H. Arellano, PMHCNS-BC

“I am a proud El Paso native who graduated from Cathedral High School and UTEP. I have worked here in the region treating patients with mental health concerns for over 30 years. My goal is to bring the Southwest (El Paso, Las Cruces, Cd. Juarez) the best evidenced-based and up to date treatments for psychiatric and mental health problems.

I am a clinical faculty member at Texas Tech in the Department of Psychiatry. Likewise, I was trained as part of a fellowship at Duke University in the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for psychiatry disorders. I have also been certified through CloudTMS program in the use of rTMS.”

Eduardo Mariscal, PMHNP-BC

“I immigrated to the United States from Mexico at a young age, and I have been calling the great City of El Paso home ever since. I graduated from Montwood High School and earned both my BSN and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner MSN at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Lubbock. I have worked as an RN helping heal some of the most vulnerable populations in this city for more than a decade in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and now I have the opportunity of providing higher-level of mental health care to both adults and adolescents ages 12-17. I am also a clinical faculty member in the School of Nursing at UTEP, helping prepare the next generation of nurses. My goal is to provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatments to manage and care for psychiatric and mental health needs.”
