Loveda Winkles

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides integrative mental health services with personalized options that patient feels are best suited for them. I don’t just see a diagnosis—I see the whole person. Your story matters deeply, and I’m here to hold space for it.

• My approach is to provide the best care to my patients via therapeutic alliance and education. I do not prescribe stimulant medications.
• I have experience treating serious mental illness and Veterans in outpatient clinical settings. I specialize in diagnosing and treating Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective D/O, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Behavioral issues, Psychosis, Grief, Emotional Disturbance, OCD, Addiction, Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, Stress Management, Dementia, PTSD, and Insomnia.
• I keep my patient panel small, to offer open communication—so you’ll always feel supported when you need it. This is a space where your story is valued, and together we’ll find the path that feels right for you.
• I do not prescribed controlled medications such as sedatives, benzodiazepines or stimulants.

The initial visit is about 60 minutes to obtain a thorough history. Follow up sessions are 30 minutes.

During each session, we’ll talk through your concerns. I will check or order labs if needed, explore simple lifestyle and supplement options, and see if medication might be helpful.
