Meet Your Provider
My name is Schevon “Schevy” Pierre, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward better mental health and overall well-being.
My educational journey began at Polk State College in Winter Haven, Florida, where I earned an Associate of Arts degree in Psychology in 2007, followed by an Associate of Science in Nursing in 2009. After obtaining my Florida Registered Nurse license in 2010, I continued my education, earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Florida Southwestern State College in Fort Myers in 2013. In 2017, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing, specializing in Psychiatry, at Florida International University in Miami.
Passion found...
My nursing career has taken me through different areas of healthcare, beginning in psychiatric nursing, expanding into cardiology, and ultimately bringing me full circle back to psychiatry. From the moment I first stepped into the Psychiatry Department at Lakeland Regional Medical Center, I knew I had found where I belonged.
Throughout my career, I have learned that meaningful mental health care goes beyond clinical knowledge. It requires compassion, empathy, active listening, and the ability to create a safe, judgment-free space where individuals feel heard, respected, and supported.
Mental health is also personal to me. Having a family member living with schizophrenia has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges individuals experiencing mental illness may face, as well as the emotional journey of families who love and support them. I understand that the path is not always easy, and that finding hope and the right support can make all the difference.
Being a PMHNP allows me to combine my clinical experience with my passion for helping others. I value working collaboratively with each client to understand their unique needs, develop individualized treatment plans, and establish meaningful goals that support their mental health and quality of life. I am grateful for the opportunity to do work that I love and to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
On a personal note…
I was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, the beautiful twin-island nation in the Caribbean known for its rich multicultural heritage, vibrant Carnival celebrations, and diverse cuisine.
My friends would probably tell you that one of my most frequently used phrases is, “No worries!” It reflects my outlook on life and my belief that even when things feel difficult, there is a way forward. Sometimes finding that path takes patience, effort, and a little perspective, but I believe there is always room for hope and solutions.
When I'm not caring for clients, you can usually find me fishing with my husband, spending time in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, or curled up with a good book.
Welcome to Curatif Behavioral Health! It's a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to being part of your journey. And please, call me Schevy (like a Chevy truck)!
