About Claudine

Hello! My name is Claudine Destine. I am a Dual-Certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. With years of hands-on experience, I pride myself on my ability to connect with patients and their families, offering compassionate, evidence-based care. I completed my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification from Frontier Nursing University and a Master's degree in Nursing from William Paterson University, where I specialized as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Nursing from Western Governors University and an Associate's degree in Nursing from Northampton Community College. Currently, I run Lerene Health, LLC, where I diagnose, treat, and manage adults experiencing mental health challenges. Previously, I worked in various healthcare settings, ranging from primary care to urgent care and outpatient services. My roles included providing home visits, managing medications, conducting physical exams, and offering disease management education. My goal is to provide holistic and comprehensive care, ensuring that each patient feels heard, understood, and well-cared for. Let's work together towards better health and well-being!

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I am passionate about helping people understand and care for their mental health in a holistic way. What motivates me to continue is the deep fulfillment I get from seeing my patients grow, find their strength, and live more authentic, fulfilling lives.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I wish I could tell them that therapy is a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It's an opportunity to understand yourself better and to develop tools that help you navigate life’s challenges with kindness and self-compassion. Therapy is about supporting you in a way that honors who you are.

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

People considering working with me should know that I am a Dual-Certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing holistic, personalized care. My approach is centered on truly understanding your unique strengths and challenges, working collaboratively to develop strategies that promote self-compassion and well-being, rather than relying solely on medications.

How can you provide care remotely?

I provide care remotely through Lerene Health, LLC, utilizing telehealth services to diagnose, treat, and manage mental health challenges. This allows me to connect with patients from the comfort of their own homes, offering the same level of compassionate, evidence-based care that I would in person.
