Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, or lingering effects of past trauma—even though you’ve tried traditional treatment and it just hasn’t been enough? I'm Dr. Janelle Louis, and I use a unique combination of holistic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy to help children and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of traumatic experiences find lasting emotional wellness. As both a licensed naturopathic doctor (Vermont) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Arizona, Washington state), I bring a unique, integrative perspective to psychiatric and medical healthcare. My background includes experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hormonal mental health disorders, autoimmune and metabolic conditions that affect mental health, and trauma-related concerns. With a foundation in holistic, root-cause medicine and hands-on experience in emergency and inpatient behavioral health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and medical care that respects my patients’ values, while addressing the full complexity of their needs. I blend evidence-based therapy—including CBT and trauma-informed approaches—with thoughtful medication management and holistic interventions to help children, teens, and adults live their healthiest and best lives.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
