About TaLesha
Hello! I'm a dedicated and experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of expertise in providing comprehensive mental health care across various psychiatric settings. My career has been focused on delivering patient-centered care, with specialized experience in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic interventions.
I have extensive experience working in specialized psychiatric units, including the Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Recovery Room at The Brook Hospital KMI. In this role, I closely monitored patients before and after ECT procedures, ensuring their safety and comfort while collaborating with psychiatrists and anesthesiologists to deliver effective care.
With a strong foundation in psychiatric care, critical thinking, and a compassionate approach, I am committed to providing empathetic and evidence-based mental health care.
Thank you for considering me for your psychiatric care needs. I am here to support you in achieving optimal mental health and well-being.

About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner to make a meaningful difference in people's lives by providing compassionate, evidence-based care. What motivates me daily is witnessing my patients’ progress and knowing that I’ve contributed to their journey toward better mental health and well-being.
About Me
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Therapy is a journey toward understanding and empowerment. It's not just for times of crisis but can be a tool for growth and well-being. I believe in creating a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can explore your feelings and take steps toward positive change at your own pace.
About Me
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I bring over a decade of experience in mental health care, including specialized work in psychiatric evaluations and therapeutic interventions. I approach each patient with empathy, respect, and a focus on creating a safe, trusting environment for healing. My care is holistic, and I value collaboration and personalized treatment plans.
About Me
How can you provide care remotely?
I provide care remotely through secure virtual platforms, offering psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy sessions. This allows me to reach patients wherever they are, providing the same compassionate, patient-centered care as in-person visits, while ensuring privacy and convenience.
