Rodney Louviere

Rodney Louviere

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Louisiana


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’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in Mental Health nursing.

I bring extensive nursing and mental health experience to my practice and work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, sleep difficulties, and other mental health challenges. I believe you are more than a diagnosis, and I take the time to understand the whole person behind the symptoms. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that feels realistic, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs.
