About Lineda A. Cereste

My name is Lineda Cereste. I am a devoted mother of two wonderful children, and I have been happily married for 15 years. I was born in Haiti and have been residing in America for the past 25 years. I am fluent in Creole. My cultural background deeply influences my perspective and interactions. As a dedicated Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals facing mental health challenges. My journey in healthcare began with a deep-seated passion for understanding and supporting the complexities of the human mind.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Central Florida, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization in psychiatric mental health. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience working in various settings, including outpatient clinics, surgery centers, and nursing homes — helping diverse populations across the lifespan.

My practice is centered on conducting comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and providing medication management tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. I am committed to fostering therapeutic relationships based on trust, empathy, and respect, recognizing the courage it takes to seek help for mental health concerns.

Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family, traveling, and engaging in activities that promote mental and emotional well-being. I am passionate about advocating for mental health awareness and reducing the stigma associated with psychiatric disorders.

As a PMHNP, I am driven by a commitment to holistic care, empowering individuals to achieve optimal mental health and overall wellness. I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of my patients and the community.
