FL
Hello, I'm LaShonda, APRN, PMHNP-BC and AGACNP-BC, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult–Gerontology Nurse Practitioner. With 10+ years of experience in medical and mental health care, I provide a whole-person approach, helping clients achieve balance and well-being through compassionate, personalized care that supports lasting mental health and overall wellness. I work closely with each client to explore their goals, strengthen motivation, and develop practical coping strategies for everyday challenges. Whether you're struggling with low mood, persistent worry, difficulty sleeping, or navigating life transitions, I aim to empower you to take an active role in your mental health journey. My focus is on helping clients build insight, resilience, and sustainable skills to support long-term well-being. I strive to make each session collaborative and individualized, tailoring recommendations to fit your unique needs and circumstances. In our telehealth sessions, we work together to identify barriers, celebrate progress, and create actionable steps toward meaningful change. I believe that mental health care should be approachable, supportive, and practical. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, exploring solutions, and making progress at a pace that works for you. If you're looking for guidance, support, and a partner in managing anxiety, mood challenges, or sleep difficulties, I'm here to help you navigate the journey toward greater balance, coping, and overall well-being.
