Hello, my name is Teleola. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Across the Lifespan), with over 10 years of experience in the mental healthcare field, mental healthcare is my passion. Seeing my patients grow and become their best selves is what drives me. I partner with my patients to provide care that meets their individual needs. I believe there is no health without mental health, and with the right resources, we can overcome any barriers. I provide psychotherapy and medication management.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
From the very first session, you will feel heard and understood. We will work together to get to the root of the problems and put measures in place that will start addressing these issues.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The type of treatment methods I utilize includes the evidence-based approach, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT); person-centered and motivational interviewing approaches among others. I understand the importance of medication adherence and the need to explore circumstances hindering this desired goal which is why I make it a primary focus during routine follow-up sessions. I enjoy giving clients the individualized attention they deserve and treat everyone with respect and dignity. I understand the unique needs of each client and I tailor a treatment plan specific to these needs. I strive to include alternative and complementary treatments, such as nutritional supplementation, diet, and exercise recommendations to each treatment regimen and take a holistic approach to wellness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths include working with vulnerable populations, those with severe and persistent mental illness, psychotic disorders, dually diagnosed patients, individuals struggling with substance abuse and individuals affected by traumatic experiences.
