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 narrative therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention), and Motivational Interviewing for anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD problems, as well as stress management and personal growth. In her spare time, she writes poetry and fiction, meditates, forest bathes, and does yoga. Before nursing, Dr. Inez studied screen and television writing at USC. In 2018, she finished her first novel and has since 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 the stories of many individuals as her profession.
