About Us

At Release and Renew Mental Wellness, care begins with the vision of founder and CEO Tamara Pottillo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC).

Tamara is committed to improving accessibility to high-quality mental health care within a private practice setting that prioritizes culturally competent, compassionate, and patient-centered services. As a clinician dedicated to supporting diverse communities, she understands the importance of providing care that respects each patient’s cultural background, lived experiences, and individual needs.

She created Release and Renew Mental Wellness to expand access to thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care. The practice offers secure telehealth services, allowing patients to receive psychiatric care from the comfort and privacy of their homes while maintaining the same high standards of clinical care, professionalism, and confidentiality expected in a traditional office setting.

Her work focuses on providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and integrative mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. Tamara’s approach is centered on answering those questions through thoughtful, patient-centered care. She works collaboratively with patients to understand their symptoms, life experiences, and health history while developing treatment plans that focus on stabilization, safety, and long-term wellness.

Her philosophy of care integrates evidence-based psychiatric treatment, careful consideration of biological contributors to symptoms, compassionate listening, and patient education. Through this whole-person approach, patients receive care that is both clinically grounded and personally supportive. Her goal is to help individuals and families better understand their mental health and feel empowered as they move toward healing and stability.
