Great physician, made a couple jokes while still being on the main topic at hand made me feel welcomed and having that understanding connection between patient and doctor really made me feel comfortable.

More about Lavern Mair, NP, PMHNP, MSN
Hello, my name is Lavern Mair, R.N., BSN, MSN, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. With over 25 years of experience in nursing and behavioral health, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan, helping them navigate their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being.
I earned my Associate's degree from Broward Community College, my Bachelor's degree from Broward College, and my Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Family Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Walden University. I hold board certifications in Florida and New York as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). Throughout my career, I have worked in various healthcare settings, including outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health hospitals, substance use treatment centers, and telehealth services. My experience has given me a deep understanding of how mental and physical health are interconnected.
I take a holistic and evidence-based approach to care, focusing on psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning to meet the unique needs of each patient. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take charge of their mental health.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, I am here to help. Together, we can work toward achieving balance, stability, and a better quality of life. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to mental wellness.

Lavern was polite and professional, but I felt like the session was a bit rushed. I would’ve appreciated a little more time to talk through everything. I’m open to giving it another try, though she seems knowledgeable.
