Johnathan Augustine
***For self-pay/out-of-pocket rates, initial appointment and evaluation is $150; for follow up visits, rates are $75 per visit.*** I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving people across Louisiana through telehealth, and I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, and multiple other mental health disorders. Empathy is at the core of everything I do — I genuinely want to see the people I work with have the best health outcomes possible, and that desire is what brought me to this field and keeps me invested in every patient I see.
With many years of experience across a variety of settings—from working with children as young as four to seniors—I have treated a range of individuals, from mild emotional disturbances to severely mentally ill, in outpatient, intensive outpatient, inpatient, correctional, and community settings.
First session
My primary role is medication management and my approach is solution-oriented. I look at the full picture — not just your symptoms — because real, lasting progress comes from understanding the whole person. I'll be open with you about what I observe and what I recommend, and we'll work together toward clear, practical goals.
Strengths
With many years of experience across a variety of settings which includes outpatient, intensive outpatient, inpatient, correctional, in-home, and community settings—from working with children as young as four to seniors—I have treated a range of individuals, from mild emotional disturbances to severely mentally ill. In spite of whatever you're going through, I look forward to meeting with you and help you reach your goals.
Ideal clients
I am well equipped to help adults and young professionals who may be experiencing anxiety related to everyday stressors, providing support and effective medication management to help reduce their symptoms. In spite of that, I also enjoy working with patients who have depression, mood disorders, or psychotic symptoms. My primary focus is to help improve their overall mental well-being through personalized and compassionate medication management. ***(My primary role as a mental health-psychiatric nurse practitioner is medication management. On an individual basis, you may need medication management alone, or counseling, or both, to treat certain conditions and symptoms. We will discuss your plan of care during our visits.) ***(Self-pay/out-of-pocket rates are $150 for initial evaluation and $75 for follow up appointments.)
Treatment methods
Psychoeducation
I incorporate psychoeducation into my practice by providing clients with clear, understandable information about their mental health conditions and treatment options. This empowers you to better understand your symptoms, learn coping strategies, and make informed decisions, helping to improve overall treatment outcomes and promote recovery.
Motivational Interviewing
I use motivational interviewing to help clients explore and resolve any conflicting feelings about change, encouraging them to find their own motivation and confidence to reach their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) by helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier beliefs, and adopt positive behaviors. This structured approach empowers you to manage symptoms effectively and make lasting changes for improved mental well-being.
