I’m Carine Robert, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 27 years of experience in medical and psychiatric care.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults, creating a safe, culturally responsive space where clients feel supported and empowered. Flexible telepsychiatry services make care accessible and tailored to your lifestyle.
First session
In our first session, we’ll focus on building a strong foundation for your care. I’ll take time to understand your concerns, gather relevant history, and explore your goals for treatment. This is a space for you to speak freely and feel heard—there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. We’ll also discuss potential treatment options, including therapy and medication if appropriate, and begin crafting a plan that feels right for you. As your needs evolve, so will our approach—always with collaboration and compassion at the center.
Strengths
My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I combine medication management with supportive and cognitive-behavioral therapies to create personalized treatment plans that evolve with each client’s needs. What sets my practice apart is my ability to simplify complex psychiatric concepts, foster trust through clear communication, and adapt care for diverse populations—including children, adolescents, and high-risk clients. I prioritize collaboration, education, and emotional safety, helping clients feel empowered and understood throughout their mental health journey.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve clients who want a safe, culturally responsive space to explore their mental health and build healthier patterns. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. My clients often come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Together, we slow things down, clarify what’s happening, and create a plan that feels manageable. I’m especially effective with clients who value compassion, clear communication, and a provider who truly listens.
Origin story
I was inspired to become a therapist after years of witnessing how deeply emotional pain affects people and their families. Working as a nurse showed me that healing isn’t just physical — people need someone who listens, understands, and helps them feel safe again. I chose this profession because I wanted to support individuals through their hardest moments and help them rediscover hope, stability, and confidence in themselves.
Ongoing work together
Our ongoing work will be steady, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel better over time. We’ll check in regularly about your symptoms, stressors, sleep, mood, and daily functioning to see what’s improving and what still feels challenging. You’ll know you’re making progress when you notice more emotional stability, fewer overwhelming moments, better coping skills, and a greater sense of control in your day‑to‑day life. Together, we’ll adjust your plan as needed to keep you moving forward.
Medication approach
My approach to medication is collaborative and individualized. I view medication as one tool among many that can support mental health, and I work closely with clients to determine whether it’s appropriate for their needs. I take time to explain options, discuss risks and benefits, and ensure clients feel informed and empowered in their treatment decisions. My goal is always to use the lowest effective intervention while prioritizing safety, stability, and long‑term wellness.
