Laquita Dawkins

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I work with adolescents and adults ages 16-65 experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and substance use challenges. My practice focuses on integrative psychiatry, combining traditional psychiatric treatment with lifestyle, nutrition, sleep optimization, and wellness strategies to support whole-person healing. I am especially passionate about helping individuals from diverse backgrounds, including BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and young professionals.

My approach is collaborative, personalized, and rooted in the belief that mental health is influenced by both the mind and body. I combine psychiatric evaluation and medication management with integrative interventions such as sleep optimization, nutritional support, supplements when appropriate, and healthy lifestyle changes. I have a special interest in integrative insomnia treatment, helping clients address the underlying causes of sleep difficulties through evidence-based strategies rather than relying solely on medication. Together, we create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and unique life experiences.

Your first session is a welcoming, judgment-free space where we take time to understand your concerns, symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and goals. We will discuss what is working well, what challenges you are facing, and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, therapy recommendations, sleep interventions, wellness strategies, or additional testing, when appropriate. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and confident about your next steps toward improved mental wellness.
