Fabienne Turenne, 

Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Founder of FRT Psychiatry

I was born in Brooklyn, NY to Haitian immigrant parents where I never heard conversations about mental health. I learned early on that mental health wasn't often discussed in a Caribbean household. As I grew up and started to experience life, I recognized the impact that this stigma can have on individuals and families, especially in Black and Brown communities. 

​

I went on to earn two bachelor's degrees from NYU in Psychology and Nursing, followed by a Master's degree as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Stony Brook University. I've spent over six years working as an RN in inpatient behavioral health, primarily supporting college-aged individuals and those experiencing their first episode of mental illness. During that time, I witnessed how many people struggle in silence and how often stigma shaped the way people understood and struggled with their diagnoses. 

​

FRT Psychiatry was built with intention -- to provide care that feels safe, personalized, free from judgement, and where seeking care is seen as strength, not stigma. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

 

I want to help you focus on your mental health, restore stability to your life, and help you go on to thrive with confidence in everyday challenges.
