Hi there, and welcome. My name is Laurentine Uwamahoro; I’m board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Have you been struggling with the highs and lows in your fast-paced life, or you are unable to do the things you once enjoyed? Are you tired of being on edge, nervous, or worried? I’m here to help you explore your feelings and how your body responds to them. My goal is to team up with my clients and help them restore their mental health equilibrium in a caring and empathic manner, while understanding their conditions and finding suitable treatment options. You are in a safe, nonjudgmental zone when you meet with me. I treat adults, ages 18 and up with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more. I have over 15 years of experience in the medical field, and offer diagnostic assessments, evaluation, and prescribe psychotropic medications when indicated. I primarily see patients via telehealth in the states of Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to prescribe Controlled Substances such as Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Ritalin, Adderall, and others.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session, we will meet each other, and have the opportunity to get to know each other more, and set expectations for your treatment plan. I will provide an in-depth initial psychiatric evaluation, which takes up to 60 minutes to complete. Follow-up sessions will be scheduled according to each client’s needs, and usually takes up to 30 minutes. Follow-up sessions are aimed at treatment assessment, response, and maintenance; they can be weekly, or at least every 3 months.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I genuinely care about my patients, and believe everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and fairness without judgment, and I strive to go above and beyond to help improve my client's overall well-being. I specialize in medications management for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental health conditions.
