Meet LaTerica House
Certified Family Nurse Practitioner | Mental Health & Chronic Disease Expert.
With over 20 years of nursing experience, I am passionate about providing comprehensive and compassionate care. I am a Family Nurse Practitioner who has been serving diverse communities, ensuring that my patients receive attentive and effective healthcare right from their homes to clinic settings.
Specializing in geriatrics, I focus on preventing hospital readmissions by managing chronic conditions and coordinating care among families, medical staff, and specialists. My role involves performing physical exams, educating patients on their health, and ensuring that all their healthcare needs are met.
I have gained valuable experience in managing psychiatric conditions in long-term facilities and offering solutions for opioid addiction. My approach is patient-centered, aiming to close the gaps in care by fostering health awareness and lifestyle changes.
Whether it’s chronic disease management, depression, anxiety, or diabetes care, I am committed to promoting better health outcomes through personalized care plans. I believe in empowering my patients with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health.
Let’s work together to achieve your best health!

My philosophy
My treatment philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-focused care. I believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. I partner with patients, empowering them to understand their health and make informed choices. My experience in diverse settings, from primary care to mental health, allows me to address a wide range of conditions, including chronic illnesses and mental health challenges.
I prioritize open communication, ensuring patients feel heard and respected. Together, we will create personalized treatment plans that focus on prevention and improvement. Collaborating with families and healthcare teams is essential to close gaps in care and promote wellness. My goal is to support each patient on their unique journey to better health.
