Timothy Lafolette, PMHNP-BC

Timothy Lafolette, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Portland, Oregon. He provides in-person care at his Portland office and telehealth across Oregon, with virtual availability for clients in Washington. 

• Services and clinical approach: Combines medication management (when appropriate) with evidence-based psychotherapy to treat anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship conflict, and stress-related difficulties. Uses EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He takes a collaborative, practical approach—asking thoughtful questions, offering a range of coping skills, and gently challenging unhelpful assumptions until something clicks.

• Therapeutic style and outcomes: Warm and direct—described by clients as part cheerleader, part honest advisor. He prioritizes a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can address core beliefs, reduce reactivity, improve relationships, and …move from merely surviving to thriving.
• Personal touch: LGBTQ+ affirming; passionate about flowers, plants, and crystals; regular theater- and concert-goer; fluent in memes; cares for backyard ducks with music-themed names; 18-year performer with the Portland Opera Chorus. These qualities contribute to an approachable, disarming presence many clients find comforting.

Ideal for adults in Oregon and Washington seeking a board-certified PMHNP who blends psychiatric expertise with evidence-based therapy and an affirming, relatable presence.
