Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


Hello, and welcome. My name is Debby Falusi, CRNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in mental health care. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults across a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatry, telepsychiatry, substance use treatment programs, correctional facilities, and skilled nursing facilities.

I believe that mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. My approach focuses on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to participate in their treatment decisions. I work closely with each client to understand their unique experiences, challenges, strengths, and goals.

My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy while utilizing evidence-based practices to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in their mental well-being.

I understand that seeking help can be difficult, and I strive to make the process as comfortable as possible. Whether you are experiencing new mental health concerns or managing a long-standing condition, I am committed to supporting you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and improved quality of life.

I look forward to partnering with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs and helps you move toward your personal goals.

Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Trauma/PTSD, Mood Disorders, Psychotic Disorders, Substance Use Disorders, Stress Management, and Medication Management.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


With over a decade of nursing experience, LaQuida “Love” Johnson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, combines clinical expertise with a modern, whole-person approach to wellness.

I believe mental health care should feel personal, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what you’re experiencing openly. I take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and work with you, not just prescribe medication. I value education and shared decision-making, so you’ll understand your treatment options and have an active voice in your care. Most importantly, I recognize that healing looks different for everyone, and I’ll meet you where you are while supporting you along your journey.
