Benitho (Ben) Louissaint
(He/Him/His)
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
We see clients of all genders, ethnicities, and cultures.
I look forward to meeting you. I have been practicing for 7 years in the outpatient setting. I began my private practice in 2021 and have been helping patients in the East Valley with their mental health and substance abuse needs. I use evidence-based practice to help my patients. I also utilize Christian-based therapies for clients who want this approach. My practice is unique because I am comfortable with treating substance use disorders concurrently with mental health conditions.
