Hello, my name is Joelle Charpentier, APRN, PMHNP-BC. I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and understood. I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, and women’s mental health concerns. My goal is to provide a welcoming, judgment-free space where we can work together toward lasting wellness.
I'm Anissa, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD and other co-existing conditions.
When you work with me you get care that is calm, attentive, and centered on you.
Who I Work With:
I support individuals who are struggling with poor performance at work/school, anxious thoughts, panic attacks, depressed mood, occupational burnout, and other related conditions.
You're in the right place if:
✓ You're constantly overwhelmed or stressed about upcoming events or tasks needing to be completed
✓ You've been working harder to keep up but you feel like you're failing and burning out
✓ You suspect you have ADHD and need an evaluation, or you've been told you don't have ADHD and would like a second opinion
✓ You need help getting school or workplace accommodations or a leave of absence due to mental stress
✓ Past providers rushed you or didn't listen to your concerns
I am Jamila Warner, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality care that honors your unique journey. My approach is focused on creating harmony and order in the face of life's everyday challenges. I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients suffering from various mental illnesses including, but not limited to ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders.
Mental health care should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation.
I believe the best outcomes happen when patient's feel heard, respected, and are actively involved in their treatment. My approach involves a team approach and is honest and hands on. I take the time to understand the whole person —not just a diagnosis— so we can create a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
You are the expert on your life. I’m the expert on mental health. The best care happens when we combine both.
My path to psychiatric care is a little different from most. I spent over a decade as an Obstetrics Nurse before transitioning into psychiatric mental health — and that background deeply shapes how I show up for my clients. I understand the weight of life transitions, the complexity of the mind-body connection, and the importance of feeling truly supported. Now, as a PMHNP, I bring that same compassionate, whole-person perspective to mental health care.

I specialize in integrative and functional psychiatry, working with LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating hormone-related changes such as perimenopause, menopause, and gender transition. My goal is to treat root causes—not just symptoms—for lasting mental wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in New Orleans, LA
Finding psychiatrists in New Orleans starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and support ongoing medication management. Therapists focus on talk therapy and skill-based support, so either path can be useful depending on your needs. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach before choosing who to meet with.
In New Orleans, your search may include psychiatrists near neighborhoods like the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Uptown, or nearby areas such as Metairie. Some people prefer an office close to home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility. Psychiatric visits, especially medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you compare availability, appointment format, communication style, and whether a psychiatrist is accepting new patients.
Psychiatric care in New Orleans can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your insurance, verifies that listed psychiatrists are accepting new patients with your plan, and shows your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
