Dr. Adriana Berusch Gerardino, ND
Dr. Adriana Berusch Gerardino (she/they) is a naturopathic doctor, educator, and community health practitioner committed to providing individualized, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. She believes deeply in meeting patients where they are and creating healing spaces rooted in respect, dignity, and genuine listening.
Dr. Adriana graduated from Sonoran University of Health Sciences with an emphasis in Community Medicine. Her work bridges evidence-informed naturopathic medicine with contemplative psychology and community-based healing. She completed postgraduate training at the University of California Irvine and has advanced training in psychiatry, postpartum mood disorders, addiction and mental health nutrition, biofeedback, mindfulness-based and psychedelic-informed care.
Her clinical work is informed by years of serving people in community clinics, grassroots health organizations, and women's prisons, where she has provided care, education, and group healing spaces for individuals often excluded from traditional healthcare systems. Coming from a family shaped by immigration, the carceral system, substance use, and psychiatric care, she brings lived experience to her work and centers patient stories as a core part of healing.
At the heart of Adriana's practice is a belief that healing is both personal and collective — and that people thrive when supported with knowledge, agency, and care that honors their full humanity.
About Me
I'm someone who believes deeply that who we are shapes how we heal — and that goes for me too. Outside of work, I'm drawn to art, music, and time spent in nature as ways to stay grounded and connected. I love deep conversations, community gatherings, and anything that bridges cultures and brings people together. I'm a lifelong learner who reads voraciously across medicine, philosophy, and social justice. My personal experiences — navigating systems that weren't built with me in mind — are what fuel my commitment to showing up fully for every patient I see.
