Alta Chery-Leonard

I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.

I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.

I provide compassionate, tailored, evidence-based psychiatric care in a space where clients feel safe, heard, and respected. I take time to understand each person's unique story because meaningful progress starts with trust.

My services include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and individualized treatment planning. I prioritize education and shared decision-making, so clients always feel informed and confident in their care.

I am dedicated to helping my clients thrive by offering a balanced blend of medication management and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tailored to their unique journey toward wellness to support comprehensive healing and foster long-term personal growth.

My goal is simple: to help each person build resilience and move toward a better quality of life.

Your first appointment is a safe, confidential space where you can share openly without judgment. We'll take time to understand your symptoms, history, and goals, and together, we'll build an individualized care plan that reflects your values and preferences.

You'll leave with clarity on your diagnosis, your treatment options, and your next steps. Every decision is made collaboratively, because your voice matters in your care.
