"I'm here to help you uncover clarity and build resilience"

Sharika LaBrie is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a distinguished career spanning over 20 years in clinical leadership and direct patient care. Her journey in healthcare has been defined by a relentless commitment to serving complex populations, from managing critical care units to providing specialized behavioral health support for active-duty military personnel and their families. This breadth of experience allows her to navigate the most challenging mental health landscapes with confidence, stability, and profound empathy.

Born and raised in Hawai'i, Sharika possesses an innate understanding of the local culture and the unique "talk story" dynamics that shape life in the islands. She recognizes that mental health does not exist in a vacuum; it is deeply interwoven with our sense of family ('ohana), community, and cultural identity. She strives to create a safe, non-judgmental space where patients feel truly seen and heard, honoring their personal backgrounds while addressing the universal struggles of anxiety, depression, and addiction.

Sharika believes that true healing requires treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Her approach moves beyond simple symptom management to address the root causes of distress. Whether supporting a family navigating the chaos of addiction or helping an individual process deep-seated trauma, she combines evidence-based psychiatric medication management with holistic strategies. She views the provider-patient relationship as a partnership; while she brings the clinical expertise and tools, she empowers her patients to be the architects of their own recovery, fostering resilience that lasts long after therapy concludes.

Staying at the forefront of mental health science is a priority for Sharika. She is an active researcher and writer, exploring the frontiers of psychiatric care, including the therapeutic potential of ketamine and the integration of music in psychedelic therapy. This dedication to innovation ensures that her patients have access to the most current and effective treatment modalities available. Sharika is dedicated to walking the path alongside her patients, helping them transform their struggles into strength.
