Meet Your Prescriber


Christy Hutchinson is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized psychiatric care to individuals in Louisiana. Their goal is to empower patients and support them on their journey towards mental well-being. With a focus on evidence-based practice, they aim to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their mental health and receive the support they need.

Why a Pelican?
The pelican is a symbol of resilience, care, and renewal. In nature, pelicans are nurturing creatures known for their strength, patience, and ability to weather storms — a reflection of the healing journey in mental health.
As Louisiana’s state bird, the pelican also represents community, compassion, and connection, which are at the heart of Pelican Behavioral Health’s approach to care. Our goal is to help patients find balance, restore hope, and reclaim peace — much like the pelican returning safely to calm waters after the storm.
Our mission is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care in a welcoming and calm environment — helping you reconnect with yourself and move toward healing.
