Our Providers
Dr. LaTia Pierce DNP, APN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C
Equal opportunity for mental health and wellness implies that everyone, regardless of their socio-economic status, race, gender, age, or geographical location, should have access to quality mental health services. I seek to provide all patients with respect, personalized treatment plans, education, support, empathy, time, shared decision-making, and quality care. I have a strong background in working within underserved communities and with the developmentally disabled population. As both a psychiatric provider and a family medicine provider I have experience in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health disorders, chronic health conditions including obesity, and acute healthcare needs.
Dr. Alysa Jeffers DNP, APN, PMHNP-BC, WHNP-BC
As a healthcare provider with a background in OBGYN, my commitment extends beyond providing exceptional medical care; it encompasses a deep-seated passion for ensuring that every patient has equal access to comprehensive mental health services. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the profound impact that mental health has on physical health, particularly in women's health, and I am dedicated to breaking down barriers to care for all individuals, regardless of race, religion, or economic status.
