The path to
mental wellness...
YOUR
bRAIN...
...is an organ just like your heart, liver, kidneys...
Mental Illnesses manifest
differently in everyone.
While problems with sleep, loss of energy, inability to cope, irritability, sadness and anxiety, can affect anyone on occasion, ongoing symptoms that present significant problems with everyday life may be a sign of mental health issues.
Just as you wouldn't ignore your heart if you felt chest pains, you shouldn't ignore your mental health if you have symptoms.

About Me
Laura Coleman
PMHNP-BC, NC-BC, CNL
I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Board Certified Nurse Coach (NC-BC).
I provide medication management and psychotherapy for adult clients experiencing stress, anxiety, PTSD, situational and generational traumas, co-occurring mental and physical health challenges. I am also trained in CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), mindfulness and imagery therapies.
My therapeutic approach is Client-Centered integrated with Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Humanistic, and Motivational Interviewing therapies appropriate for your unique situation.
I believe mental health care is a therapeutic partnership between provider and client. Knowledge is power. Treatment plans and goals are not just dictated, they are explained, established and worked on together in a safe, supportive, and culturally sensitive environment. It would be my privilege to work with you on your mental health goals.
