LaVeta Jarrett, APRN, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC

Living through severe or repeated trauma can affect how you feel, relate to others, and experience safety in your own body. LaVeta Jarrett, APRN, PMHNP, founded Embodied Psychiatry in Wichita, Kansas, to provide compassionate, individualized psychiatric care for people carrying these experiences.
With 17 years of clinical experience, LaVeta brings a whole-person, trauma-informed approach to care. Her focus includes the lasting effects of childhood adversity, abuse, relational trauma, and overwhelming life experiences, as well as the depression, anxiety, and emotional distress that may accompany them. She recognizes that sharing your story takes trust. Care moves at a pace that respects your comfort, boundaries, and readiness.

Embodied Psychiatry offers ketamine treatment through intramuscular injections and prescribed lozenges when clinically appropriate. Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, a discussion of potential benefits and risks, and an individualized plan. Ketamine may be considered as part of a broader approach to persistent symptoms; it is not appropriate for everyone, and outcomes vary.

LaVeta’s approach emphasizes the connection between emotional health, the body, and the nervous system. Alongside psychiatric care, she incorporates supportive therapeutic approaches, somatic awareness, and education to help patients recognize patterns of distress and develop a greater sense of stability and choice.

Throughout treatment, LaVeta values collaboration, clear communication, and ongoing assessment. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, express preferences, and participate actively in decisions about their care.

At Embodied Psychiatry, the goal is to support relief from suffering while helping you build a more connected, meaningful life. You do not have to share every detail of your past to begin a conversation about getting help.
