“Paula is very attentive and listens to your needs— she is not the kind of provider that will tell YOU what they think you need, she listens to you and is very empathetic in her approach. I’d recommend her to anyone I know in need, for sure. ”

Getting to know Paulette Winsor
I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nearly three decades of experience helping people find the right medication solutions for their mental health. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, and medication management has been at the heart of my practice ever since.
What I love about this work is getting to know you as a whole person—not just your symptoms. I consider everything that makes you unique: your physical health, other medications you're taking, and any history with substance use. If you're managing both mental health and recovery, I have extensive experience creating medication plans that support both journeys safely and effectively.
I believe in evidence-based care that's also deeply personal. Together, we'll find medications that work for your specific situation, and I'll monitor how you're doing every step of the way. If something isn't working or you're experiencing side effects, we'll adjust. Your comfort and understanding are essential to me—I want you to feel confident in your treatment plan.
My door is always open for honest conversations. Whether you're concerned about side effects, curious about how your medications work together, or wondering if there's a better option, I'm here to listen and guide you. Starting psychiatric medication for the first time can feel overwhelming, and adjusting an existing regimen can be equally challenging. I'll walk alongside you through it all.
Through thoughtful medication selection, careful monitoring, and ongoing adjustments, my goal is simple: to help you feel better while minimizing side effects and addressing any concerns that arise. You deserve treatment that truly works for you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bring a unique combination of clinical expertise and compassionate care to help you achieve mental wellness. My practice is built on the foundation of respect, evidence-based treatment, and individualized attention to your specific needs.
I specialize in the comprehensive treatment of various psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. I work with both adults and adolescents, adapting my approach to meet the developmental and cultural needs of each individual.
My clinical approach is deeply collaborative and patient-centered. I believe that successful treatment happens when there's a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, open communication, and mutual respect. During our sessions, you'll find me to be an active listener who values your input and concerns.
I conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations that examine your mental health from multiple angles – biological, psychological, and social factors all play important roles in your well-being. This comprehensive approach allows me to develop accurate diagnoses and create treatment plans that are specifically tailored to your circumstances.
Medication management is one of my core specialties, and I have experience with both traditional and innovative psychiatric medications. I stay current with the latest research and carefully monitor your response to treatments to ensure optimal outcomes while minimizing side effects.
Communication and education are priorities in my practice. I take time to explain your condition, discuss all available treatment options, and ensure you understand what to expect from different interventions. I encourage questions and want you to feel confident in your treatment decisions.
My office provides a safe, confidential environment where you can discuss your concerns without fear of judgment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our initial meeting is a collaborative conversation where I'll learn about your mental health challenges and personal story. The first appointment involves a comprehensive psychiatric assessment covering your symptoms, how they developed, what you've noticed helps or worsens them, and their impact on your relationships and daily activities. We'll discuss your medical background, family psychiatric history, and previous treatment experiences. This thorough evaluation informs my diagnostic impressions and treatment recommendations.
I provide psychiatric medication management with integrated supportive elements during our visits. We'll explore treatment options together—discussing benefits, risks, and alternatives so you can make choices aligned with your values. I explain psychiatric concepts in accessible language and encourage questions. While my primary focus is medication management, I incorporate therapeutic dialogue and can connect you with therapists for specialized counseling when appropriate.
Follow-up sessions are scheduled based on your clinical stability—weekly or biweekly initially, then monthly as you improve. Each appointment includes symptom assessment, medication review, and discussion of challenges or concerns. I'm thorough in evaluating treatment response and side effects, making adjustments carefully. I value your feedback and use it to guide our clinical decisions.
I approach care with warmth, professionalism, and respect for your autonomy. My practice is informed by current psychiatric research while remaining adaptable to individual needs. I'm committed to helping you achieve better mental health and enhanced quality of life through personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care that truly supports your wellness goals.
