Makesa Toure

I believe mental health care should be personalized, compassionate, and centered around the whole person. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide thoughtful psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and substance-use concerns.

My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental. I take time to listen, understand what you are experiencing, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your individual needs, goals, and preferences. I believe you should feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about your care.

Whether you are seeking support for a new concern or looking for continued medication management, my goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where we can work together toward meaningful and lasting improvement.

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I take the time to understand each client’s concerns, goals, history, and unique circumstances before developing a treatment plan. I believe effective mental health care is a partnership, and I encourage clients to be active participants in decisions about their treatment.

I use an evidence-based approach to psychiatric evaluation and medication management while considering the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. When appropriate, I incorporate supportive therapeutic techniques, education, lifestyle considerations, and coordination with other members of the client’s care team.

My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing their mental health. Together, we work toward practical treatment goals and meaningful, sustainable improvement.

During your first session, we will take time to get to know you and understand what brings you to care. We’ll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, mental health history, medical history, medications, and treatment goals. I’ll also answer any questions you may have about the evaluation or treatment process.

Together, we’ll identify the areas you would like to work on and discuss treatment options that may be appropriate for you. If medication is recommended, we’ll review the benefits, potential risks, alternatives, and what to expect so you can make informed decisions about your care.

My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, respected, and with a clear understanding of the next steps in your treatment.
