Gertrude Trudy Asena

Gertrude Trudy Asena works as a nurse practitioner at Supra Family and Wellness Clinic, where she also reviews the clinic website's medical content. She holds an MSN and is board-certified in two specialties: family nurse practitioner (FNP-C) and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). She has more than 20 years in healthcare, including more than 13 years as a nurse practitioner.

Her training began with a BSN from McNeese State University in 2008. She completed family nurse practitioner education at Texas Woman's University in 2013. Advanced psychiatric-mental health training came through Texas A&M International University. Her aesthetic procedure training was completed through the American Academy of Procedural Medicine, which also certifies her in aesthetics.

She has practiced in primary and urgent care, and her work reaches into chronic disease management, medical weight loss, hormone health, preventive care, wellness and aesthetics. Her focus areas are men's hormone health, sexual health, metabolic health and general medical concerns. Injectable work is a long-standing part of her practice, with more than 10 years of experience using Botox Cosmetic, Xeomin and several brands of dermal and lip fillers. Each injectable visit opens with an individualized assessment, informed consent and a conversation about realistic goals. Depending on the visit, she may go over treatment, labs, diagnostic imaging, ongoing management or a referral to a specialist.
