About Me

Meet La-Vonnie.

Welcome—I’m La-Vonnie, founder and lead clinician at Helping Hearts Heal Mental Health Clinic. With over 16 years of experience in mental health care, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals during some of life’s most challenging and transformative moments.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and cultural responsiveness. I take the time to listen deeply, understand your unique story, and develop a personalized medication management plan that supports your overall well-being.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or major life transitions, my goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll work to restore balance and help you reconnect with your best self.

Why I Started Helping Hearts Heal

Helping Hearts Heal was founded on a simple but powerful belief: healing happens through connection. I envisioned a space where individuals could access professional, evidence-based mental health care in an environment that feels warm, welcoming, and human—not clinical or cold.

Mental health is health. I’m deeply passionate about breaking the stigma that still surrounds mental wellness, particularly in communities where care has not always been accessible or culturally safe.

My mission is to provide high-quality, holistic, and inclusive care—meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you move toward where you want to be.
