Compassionate care for complex lives

Welcome

Feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, or other emotional challenges can make it difficult to be the person you want to be. You may feel overwhelmed by persistent thoughts, emotions, or patterns that no longer serve you. If you're ready to better understand what's holding you back and explore meaningful change, you've already taken an important first step by being here.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide thoughtful psychiatric medication management for adults throughout Connecticut via secure telehealth. Together, we'll take the time to understand your concerns, discuss your goals, and develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches.

Change isn't always easy, but you don't have to navigate it alone.


Laura Petiford, PMHNP, LMFT

I work with adults age 18 and older to address a wide range of mental health challenges. I provide medication management, one time consultations for a second opinion on your current treatment, deprescribing services and therapy.  I'll work with you to develop a personalized plan that suits your specific needs.


I'm ready for the next step.
