Dr. Shavondali Cawthorne

I’m Dr. Shavondali Cawthorne, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care with an emphasis on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients feel heard and involved in their treatment.

My clinical background spans both primary care and mental health, allowing me to consider the whole person when developing an individualized treatment plan. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, and other behavioral or emotional challenges. My approach combines thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, education, and collaborative goal setting to help clients achieve greater stability and overall well-being.

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I take time to listen, understand each client’s concerns, and consider the whole person—not just a diagnosis. Together, we develop a treatment plan that may include medication management, education, supportive interventions, and practical strategies tailored to the client’s goals, needs, and lifestyle. My goal is to create a safe, respectful environment where clients feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their care.

During your first session, we’ll take time to discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, medications, lifestyle, and treatment goals. I’ll ask questions to better understand what you’ve been experiencing and how it is affecting your daily life. Together, we’ll review treatment options and develop a personalized plan that supports your needs and helps you feel informed, comfortable, and involved in your care.
