LaQuicha Westervelt-House, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, is a compassionate and experienced Nurse Practitioner, double-board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with experience working with patients struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. My experience in this area has allowed me to provide comprehensive care encompassing assessment, diagnosis, and the development of individualized treatment plans. Employing a holistic approach, I consider the physical aspects of addiction and the mental and emotional components. This has involved collaborating with patients on harm reduction strategies, medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and connecting them with support networks. It’s been a rewarding journey, as I’ve witnessed the transformation and resilience of individuals on their path to recovery, all while promoting mental health and self-care.

LaQuicha’s expertise shines through with her commitment to serving underserved communities such as the LGBTQ+ community affected by substance use disorder. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and empathetic, LaQuicha brings a unique healthcare perspective rooted in compassion and understanding
