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.
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.
Hello, I’m Ashley Nelson. I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and therapist dedicated to helping individuals move from surviving to truly thriving. With a background in psychiatric nursing, emergency medicine, and specialized training as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), I bring over a decade of diverse healthcare experience, blending clinical expertise with a deep understanding of human resilience in the face of crisis. My practice focuses on supporting adults, children, and families through life’s challenges — including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and the unique stressors faced by military members, first responders, nurses, and other helping professionals.
I have a deep passion for working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and complex trauma, providing a safe, compassionate space where healing feels possible. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric care with practical, real-life strategies, empowering clients to reclaim their sense of control, rebuild confidence, and create lives that feel meaningful again.
With additional licenses in Louisiana, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, and Florida, I can see patients via telehealth from across the country.
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'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.
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.
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.
Signed consents, questionnaire and telehealth forms are collected via the Headway and Mosaic Minds EHR portal and are required before the visit.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Metairie, LA
Finding psychiatrists in Metairie starts with understanding what psychiatric care includes. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy and use different approaches to support mental health. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, either type of care may be a fit depending on what you need. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and bio to see whether their experience matches your goals.
Metairie is close to New Orleans, which can help broaden your options, but local psychiatric availability may still vary. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near home, work, or school while keeping care within Louisiana. Psychiatric appointments for medication management 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. As you compare Metairie psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and what their profiles say about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Metairie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, take your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can compare bios, choose between virtual and in-person options when available, and book directly when you are 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.
