Hi, I’m Benitho Louissaint, MSN
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner - Board Certified (PMHNP-BC)
Family Nurse Practitioner - Certified (FNP-C)
“One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.” - Linda Poindexter
I became passionate about helping individuals overcome their mental health difficulties through my work at Community Bridges, Inc as a Family Nurse Practitioner with a specialty in Substance Abuse Disorder.
As a result, I founded Samaria Behavioral Health Center in 2020. Here, I provide a safe and open space for all individuals. My space is judgement-free and I actively listen.
With a total of 14 years of experience in healthcare, including implementing the first outpatient Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for adolescents in Arizona at Community Bridges Inc. and as a Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner/ MAT provider at San Carlos Apache Healthcare, I understand the difficulties that clients must face in dealing with mental health issues including substance abuse.
Please allow me to walk this journey with you towards your recovery and I hope to see you soon!
Vision Statement
The goal of Samaria Behavioral Health Center (SBHC) is to improve mental health access in our community and help individuals who struggle with psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders.
Our Core values
Kindness
At SBHC, we treat our clients the same way we would treat our own family. We will make sure to do everything in our power to treat our patients so that they can reach their full potential.
Empowerment
The client is an integral part of the decision-making process, and therefore should feel safe and comfortable to explain their own views on their treatment plan. Every patient has their own unique path to recovery and at SBHC, we provide an environment that promotes a patient’s self-confidence throughout recovery.
Respect
At SBHC, we understand how difficult it may be to open up about psychiatric disorders and substance abuse problems, therefore we want to emphasize that we are a judgement free zone. No matter what your past entails, we promise to treat you with the utmost respect and sincerity to foster a healing environment for growth for our patients.
Inclusion
At SBHC we value diversity and will always provide a safe and compassionate environment for everyone, regardless of your race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.
