Many people seeking mental health care have already tried therapy, medication, or self-help approaches and still feel stuck.

Often, the issue is not motivation or effort.

Often, the nervous system has simply been under prolonged stress for too long.

I’m Cameron Pellegrino, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Vital Explorations.

My work focuses on helping people restore regulation in the brain and nervous system so healing can occur naturally.

Rather than viewing symptoms as personal failures or pathology alone, I approach mental health through a restorative lens.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, burnout, ADHD, and nervous system dysregulation.

Anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma patterns, brain fog, and emotional overwhelm are often adaptive nervous system responses to chronic stress.

My work integrates:

• psychiatric evaluation and medication management

• nervous system regulation

• somatic and body-based approaches

• metabolic psychiatry principles

• trauma-informed care

• breathwork and brain-state work

This framework, called Restorative Human Medicine, focuses on restoring the conditions that allow the nervous system to stabilize and reorganize.
