Psychiatric Mental Health NP

As a Nurse Practitioner, I believe healthcare should be a partnership, not a prescription. My approach combines advanced clinical skills with a deep commitment to patient advocacy, ensuring every individual has the tools and confidence to take charge of their health. I specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."

I am board certified in Family Practice as well as Psychiatry and have been in practice for 25 year. I work with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, as well as address physical symptoms or issues that may affect mental health. I hold a Doctorate degree in education and Master Degrees in Advance Practice Nursing and education.

I’m someone who truly listens and strives to meet each person exactly where they are. My style is adaptive, reflective, and flexible. I bring authenticity, compassion, and a good sense of humor into my work because I believe that laughter and honesty can be just as healing as insight. I was inspired to become a therapist by my own desire for the kind of support I would have wanted, and I aim to offer that same understanding and care to my clients. People often describe me as warm, genuine, and empowering. I am someone who helps them feel deeply heard and supported while encouraging growth in meaningful ways.

Lemuel Constantino

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I know how overwhelming it can feel to search for care that fits your life, especially in the evenings or on weekends when things finally slow down. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I bring a steady, practical mindset from my years in high acuity inpatient psychiatric care to every session. My goal is to help you build coping tools that hold up in real life, not just in the therapy room. I offer evening and weekend appointments so care fits your schedule, not the other way around. I am a Psychiatric NP, and my sessions blend medication management with genuine conversation about what is going on in your life.
