Why Choose Us?

There is handicap parking in the rear and a private entrance to Vidrine Psychiatry. Vidrine Psychiatry is located across from Independence Community Park and is within walking distance of the Main Goodwood Library at Goodwood Blvd in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The office is approximately 150 yards from the nearest Capital Area Transit System (CATS) bus stop.

My practice style is open, engaging, empathetic, and holistic. We use Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Person-in-Environment (PIE) theory, positive psychology and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) are utilized in practice. I have a background in social work, mental health, behavioral health, and intensive care nursing. This background allows me to have a unique view of your health.

During the initial visit, one would expect several things. There is a mix of rapport building and education. Also, taking care of the necessary paperwork is needed. I would explain my role as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. My role is to assess, diagnose, and treat psychiatric and mental health conditions. This is done with psychiatric medications and therapy. If a patient is interested in psychotherapy, arrangements can be made, since I am also a licensed master social worker.
