I’m Victoria, I’m a mother, single-parent who has been through it all and am very relatable.

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 a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of mental health nursing experience. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Herzing University. My areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, substance use disorders, and behavioral concerns.
I've spent years meeting people where they are — literally going out into communities across Louisiana to provide psychiatric care. Now I'm channeling that same commitment into a private telehealth practice, where you can get the support you need from home. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I offer a flexible, welcoming space for real, lasting progress. Evenings and weekends work for me — I built my schedule around people who can't step away from their day to get the help they deserve.
Getting care for your mental health should feel like a step forward, not another obstacle. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Louisiana, I bring experience across both primary care and psychiatry so I can see the whole picture of your wellbeing. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating mood challenges, or just figuring out where to start, I'll meet you where you are. My practice is fully telehealth, flexible, and designed around your schedule.
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.
Hi there, I am Shannon Robertson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Mosaic Minds Wellness & Consulting. I believe mental health care should feel human, not rushed or impersonal. I strive to create a judgment-free space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I take time to understand your story, not just your symptoms, and I approach care with compassion, curiosity, and empathy. My goal is for you to feel supported, empowered, and never alone in your healing journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Lafayette, LA
Finding psychiatrists in Lafayette starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication plans. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.
In a smaller city like Lafayette, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in a larger metro area. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in Louisiana. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer medication management, therapy, or both. Reading bios can also help you understand each psychiatrist’s communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect from appointments.
Psychiatric care in Lafayette can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for psychiatrists who match your needs, check coverage for your specific plan, review bios, 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.
