My name is Judy Lau Carino. I'm a dual licensed certified nurse practitioner in adult health & psychiatry. I specialize in working with across the lifespan (ages 14-65+years old) with primarily mood disorders, but my scope extends to OCD, ADHD, sleep, and beyond. I help by taking the time to listen, educate, engage in detailed questioning to address root cause from a integrative/holistic perspective. In our first session, expect a 75-90 minutes intake and future 30 min follow ups. My practice is unique because I individualize care with a less meds is more approach. I am passionate about this work because I see transformation daily.
1. I offer medication management in the psychiatry scope as my main role for the assessment, diagnosis, and treamtent of mental health conditions. 2. I offer short term psychotherapy to bridge those to a therapy provider. 3. I provide education appropriate as a dual certified nurse practitioner in medical/psychiatric scope as necessary.
I listen objectively without assumptions or judgements. If we build a patient-provider relationship, I want to know what your goals are you want to accomplish for stability and well-being. I'm consistent in what i do from one individual to the next. Your voice matters to me, and I hope you give me an opportunity to care for you.

one I hope to help you transform by gaining insight about self that transfers into action steps to evolve into a better version of yourself. I listen, assist and give feedback often. I do short-term psychotherapy to bridge patients waiting for therapy or those with difficulty finding therapy for longer timeframe. However, this is always combined with a medication management appointment.
