Hello, my name is Dorrett McDonald-Lovell, and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in Florida, New York, Colorado, Oregon, and New Mexico. With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals across the lifespan. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, focusing on understanding each person’s unique needs and goals. I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their mental health journey. My goal is to help you achieve optimal well-being and improve your quality of life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session typically lasts about 60 minutes. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable moving forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I empower patients to manage their mental health through individualized care, including medication management, therapy, and integrative approaches such as lifestyle, diet, and exercise. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, ongoing medication management, and health education.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is an individual aged 13 and older who seeking to improve their mental health and overall well-being. They may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, psychoses, trauma, or adjustment difficulties that are impacting their daily functioning, relationships, or quality of life. This client is open to a collaborative, holistic approach to care, which may include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and supportive resources. They value a safe, nonjudgmental environment where they can express themselves freely and work toward their personal goals. My ideal client is willing to engage in the therapeutic process, attend regular appointments, and actively participate in their treatment plan. They may be seeking support for managing stress, coping with life transitions, or addressing longstanding mental health concerns. I especially welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and strive to provide culturally sensitive, individualized care that respects each person’s unique experiences and needs.
Supportive
Medication management serves as the primary treatment modality. In addition, supportive therapy is integrated to help patients develop effective coping strategies, enhance emotional resilience, and gain a deeper understanding of their mental health conditions. This holistic approach is designed to improve overall well-being and support the effective management of symptoms.

Dorett has been a fantastic help in my journey towards better mental health. I was suffering from extreme anxiety and depression and through process I have been able to stabilize myself to a point where I enjoy things every day again and can smile. It’s rare to find someone so genuine, kind, and patient in these environments sometimes, I’m blessed to have such an amazing person to help!
