Dr Patricia Barreto
Clinical Psychologist
Hi. I am Doctor Patricia Barreto, owner and creator of MAPS Integrated Wellness. I hold a Medical/Clinical Psychology doctorate from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and have had a passion for wellness since I was a young trainee. In my practice, I conduct psychological, pre-surgical, and forensic evaluations as well as Psychotherapy. I also collaborate with other providers to deliver integrated care to patients. I was born and raised in Havana Cuba but became an adult in the United States. I have traveled to many countries and I find pride in having met many interesting people over the years. I trained in Ballet in Havana during my adolescence. Artistic expression will always be close to my heart and I use it in many of my programs. When I am not at the beach, I can be found with my loved ones, having deep conversations with friends, running around Amelia Park, reading, and playing with my dog. I wish I could go to a play, the ballet, or the symphony more often. My kids and husband are present in almost everything I do. We live in Amelia Island and we love it here. Hope to meet you soon! Here is a link to my resume-- Copy of Copy of CV Barreto 2019.docx

Beth Matricia
Office Manager/CFO
Hello. My name is Beth Matricia and I’m the office manager here at MAPS. I’ve lived in Amelia Island my entire life. I’m an island girl through-and-through and enjoy traveling, scuba diving, yoga, and spending time with my “mini- me”. I truly believe in MAPS and everything we stand for.

Ross Wise, PMHNP
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Hello! I am Ross Wise. I attended Ohio University School of Nursing to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I received two
Bachelor’s Degrees from Francis Marion University – one in Biology and one in Nursing. I also have a Master’s Degree in Nursing from United States University. I have been a nurse for 15 years. I recently retired from the Army after almost 26 years of military service (5 years in the Coast Guard). I have been on multiple mobilizations and deployments to include various stops in the Middle East. My goal is to assist individuals with issues that they may be dealing with on this journey that we call life. I especially look forward to assisting my fellow veterans. When not otherwise engaged with work and school, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, watching college football (go Gamecocks!), and taking rides on my motorcycle.
Dr Felix Soleh, PMHNP
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Hello! I am Dr. Felix Soleh. I completed my MSN with a Psychiatric/Mental Health
Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specialty at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham (The Blazers!) and my Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of
Florida (Go Gators!). Admittedly a science geek, I also hold a Master of Science
in Computer Science from the University of Nebraska. Although I have been an
independent psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner for several years, my
ICU nursing background is a strength in my approach to patient care and team
relationships. I am grateful for the opportunity to help individuals throughout their
lifespan and deliver care professionally. My goal is to build the best therapeutic
alliance with my patients and to provide resources and support along with
pharmacological interventions. I believe each patient is unique and deserves my
undivided attention, honor, and respect. In addition to working at MAPS, I also
serve our community at the MHRC in Jacksonville and provide services to the
LGBTQ community there. During my spare time, I love to walk on the beach,
park, and botanical garden while listening to my favorite music to relax.

Outside of the office, I spend most of my time with my family. Life is busy and fun with a 4-year-old and a 5-month-old, and I love every minute of it. I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, spending time with friends, and hosting holiday gatherings whenever I can.
