Amanda Lamelas

Hello, my name is Amanda Lamelas and I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Florida International University and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I offer initial psychiatric evaluations, medication management (for DEA controlled and non-controlled substances), and psychotherapy when appropriate. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and LGBTQ+ mental health concerns. I work with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults, ensuring that each individual receives a personalized and supportive approach tailored to their unique experiences and needs.

My approach is collaborative, holistic, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I believe in working closely with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific challenges and goals. By fostering a supportive, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment, I create a space where clients feel safe to express themselves openly. I incorporate therapeutic communication, empathy, and trust-building to ensure that my clients feel heard and respected while working together toward symptom relief and overall well-being.

Clients can expect a welcoming and affirming space where their concerns are validated, and their mental health is prioritized. Each session is an opportunity to gain deeper self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and build practical tools for managing symptoms. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, or LGBTQ+ mental health needs, my goal is to empower clients with the support and strategies they need to achieve lasting wellness and a better quality of life.
