Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.
