Getting to know Dominique Pelote

Hi, I’m Dominique, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based in New Jersey. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and everyday stress, offering support that’s both compassionate and tailored to your unique needs. With 8 years of nursing experience and advanced psychiatric training from Walden University, I understand that mental health looks different for everyone. That’s why I take the time to truly listen and create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m deeply committed to destigmatizing mental healthcare, and alongside my colleagues at Lavender Psychiatry, I’m on a mission to create a world where feelings are felt, respected, and cared for. You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to help you feel better, at your own pace.

What should a new client know about working with you?

PLEASE NOTE, I’M IN-NETWORK WITH AETNA, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD, CIGNA, MEDICARE, OSCAR, OXFORD, QUEST BEHAVIORAL, UNITED HEALTHCARE. I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICAID. My style is warm, engaging, and personable. I value forming a strong alliance with each client, and collaborating on all treatment decision-making. I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and many different walks of life, including students, parents, professionals, trades, service industry, retail, entrepreneurs, creatives and tech experts. Starting treatment can be a scary and intimidating process, I’ve successfully treated many people who are new to psychiatric care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Booking Process: My office will email you a self-assessment to ensure I’m able to help you. If we’re a fit, we’ll reach out to confirm a new appointment time.I always keep slots available each week for new clients. Your First Visit: The initial session is a comprehensive, one-hour evaluation which allows me to understand your current symptoms and difficulties, and learn about important aspects of your past psychiatric, medical, social, educational, and family histories. At the end of the session, we’ll determine the best treatment course. Session frequency ranges from weekly to monthly depending on the type of treatment you’re looking for. If you’re already seeing a therapist, I’m happy to collaborate with them while guiding the medication aspect of your treatment. However, many of my clients see me for both therapy and medication management. My practice, Lavender Psychiatry, is founded and fueled by board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners who create therapeutic journeys that are kind, convenient and transparent so that people can flourish. We have a fantastic team that works together to ensure our clients are well taken care of. This includes our care concierge team who is available 7 days a week between your appointments, to help answer questions and assist with any issues regarding coverage and prescriptions etc. We also have covering providers in case I’m away and an urgent matter arises. I look forward to meeting you and helping you in your journey to a brighter future!
