Hi there! I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over ten years of experience caring for children, adolescents, and adults. Drawing from my dual background in nursing and social work, I take a holistic, person-centered approach that respects each individual’s unique lived experience. My work is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity for resilience and growth. I specialize in treating depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and LGBTQIA+ mental health.
I work collaboratively with each individual to develop personalized treatment plans, prescribing medication thoughtfully and only when necessary, while also integrating supportive therapy, and other lifestyle interventions to support long-term healing and overall well-being.
Seeking support for your mental health is a courageous and vulnerable step—and you don’t have to take it alone. I want you to know that your experience matters and that healing is possible. Please feel free to reach out when you're ready. I look forward to walking alongside you on your path to healing.
Take the first step to help. Call or Lamara Ford now - (401) 358-6237
