Our Mission
At United Mental Health and Wellness, PLLC, our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that empowers individuals to achieve emotional wellness and live fulfilling lives. We are committed to delivering accessible and personalized mental health care to the residents of North Carolina.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a world where mental health care is stigma-free, inclusive, and readily available to all individuals, regardless of background or identity. We strive to be a trusted partner in mental health care, fostering resilience, healing, and hope in the communities we serve.
Our Approach
At United Mental Health and Wellness, we believe in compassionate, collaborative care. We see each client as a whole person—your story, values, and lived experiences are central to your treatment.
Using an evidence-based, person-centered approach, we offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your mental health journey.
What sets us apart is not just our clinical expertise, but the genuine empathy we bring to every patient. My passion for mental health stems from my personal connection to the challenges many face with mental illness. Having witnessed its impact on loved ones, I bring a deep understanding to my practice that goes beyond clinical knowledge. I aim to provide care that is grounded in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to your wellness.
As part of my commitment to safe, long-term care, we do not prescribe benzodiazepines or stimulants due to their potential risks. Instead, we focus on more sustainable alternatives tailored to your unique needs.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll build a care plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward balance, stability, and renewed hope.

At United Mental Health &Wellness, PLLC, we are here to support our clients with inclusive, personalized care aimed at meeting each client’s unique needs and goals.
Meet Our Provider & Founder
Welcome! I’m Marquita—a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who’s passionate about helping you find empowerment and support on your mental wellness journey. At United Mental Health & Wellness, PLLC, I specialize in medication management for conditions like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and more, offering personalized care that meets you exactly where you are—both emotionally and physically.
With over 15 years of direct patient care experience, I graduated with honors from Duke University, where I was humbled to receive the Humanitarian Award for my commitment to compassion, advocacy, and improving lives. This recognition confirmed my purpose: to prioritize mental health in my community and provide care that truly makes a meaningful difference.
For me, mental health care isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling. My personal experiences have shaped my deep understanding of mental health. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the challenges loved ones faced due to mental illness, and it’s this background that gives me a unique perspective and empathy when it comes to supporting others. I understand the weight of mental health struggles, and that’s why I approach each patient with deep care, respect, and understanding. I believe in creating a space where you feel truly heard, with the comfort of knowing you are never alone in your journey.
I know how difficult it can be to take that first step. Mental health stigma is real, and many people suffer in silence, feeling isolated or unsure of where to turn next. That’s why I’ve worked hard to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming virtual practice—where your story is honored, and your concerns are always heard.
Through secure telehealth services available to residents of North Carolina, I strive to make mental health care more accessible, allowing you to start your healing journey on your terms, in the comfort of your own space.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure of where to begin, I invite you to take that first gentle step. Healing is not only possible—it’s within your reach.
Let’s begin.
