Greetings, my name is Hugues Jeanty, a highly knowledgeable and experienced Board Certified Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner specializing in substance use issues and mental health. I completed my studies at St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida. With a deep commitment to assisting individuals in reaching their full health potential, I offer extensive psychiatric care, focusing on the treatment of mental health problems.

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

During the first session with me, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable sharing their concerns. Here's an outline of what typically happens during the initial session: Introductions and Establishing Rapport: I'll introduce myself and create a welcoming atmosphere to help the client feel at ease. Building rapport is crucial, so I'll encourage open communication and assure confidentiality. Assessment: I'll conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the client's presenting issues, mental health history, substance use history (if applicable), current symptoms, and any relevant life circumstances. This may involve asking questions about their emotional experiences, behavioral patterns, relationships, and medical history. Goal Setting: Together, we'll discuss the client's goals for therapy and what they hope to achieve. Whether it's reducing symptoms, improving coping skills, or making specific behavioral changes, I'll work collaboratively with the client to establish realistic and achievable goals. Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment and client's goals, I'll outline a tentative treatment plan. This may include recommendations for therapy modalities, medication management (if applicable), psychoeducation, and other interventions tailored to the client's needs. Explaining the Therapeutic Process: I'll explain how therapy works, including the therapeutic approaches I utilize, the expected frequency and duration of sessions, and any potential challenges or setbacks that may arise during the treatment process. Addressing Questions and Concerns: I'll encourage the client to ask any questions or express any concerns they may have about therapy or their treatment plan. Open communication is essential for fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

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

As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in: Compassionate and Empathetic Approach: I deeply care about my clients' well-being and strive to create a safe and supportive environment where they feel understood and validated. Holistic Perspective: I take a holistic approach to treatment, considering the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and social aspects of health. This allows me to address clients' needs comprehensively and tailor treatment plans to their individual circumstances. Evidence-Based Practice: I am committed to staying informed about the latest research and best practices in psychiatry and mental health care. I integrate evidence-based interventions into my practice to ensure the most effective treatment outcomes for my clients. Collaborative and Client-Centered Care: I view therapy as a collaborative process, where the client is an active participant in their treatment journey. I value clients' input, preferences, and goals, and work together with them to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their needs and values.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
