Dr. Janine Inez is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who graduated from Columbia University. She works with emergent adults, adults, LGBTQ+, artists, and ALANA (African-American, Latinx, Asian, and Native American) populations offering combined psychotherapy and medication management. She specializes in psychedelics and narrative therapy for healing, stress, spiritual exploration, and personal growth. In her spare time, she writes poetry and fiction, meditates, forest bathes, and does yoga. Prior to nursing, Dr. Inez studied writing for screen and television at USC. In 2018, she finished her first novel, and since then has completed two more. In 2022, she also completed a poetry anthology, and in 2024, she wrote a non-fiction novella. She’s been telling stories since she was eight years old, and she is incredibly grateful that she gets to listen to them as a profession.
