I went into psychiatry to improve access to considerate, kind, and evidence-based mental healthcare. Through my work in community health centers I have partnered with hundreds of patients to be empowered and informed consumers of healthcare. In those settings, I have worked with people from all walks of life; I have had training in providing care to gender diverse populations, people with addictions, pregnant and nursing people, as well as caring for severe mental illness. I continually seek new information to be sure my patients receive appropriate care in a timely manner.
Although the care I provide is rooted in current medical knowledge, my relationship to patients is informed by the nursing model. This emphasizes caring for the whole person rather than a narrow “problem” focus. I seek to understand my patients’ lives in order to develop treatment plans that realistically align with their goals.
“I always feel seen and heard during my visits. I know that I'm talking to someone who truly cares and who is educated in her field. I would recommend her to anyone who asks.”

Hi there, I’m Lamara, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with prescriptive authority. I have over 10 years of experience in providing mental health care to adults, teens, and children in a variety of settings.
I currently work with adults and young adults struggling with a multitude of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma. Influenced by training as both a social worker and a nurse practitioner, I tailor my treatment to each individual person. I partner with my clients to optimize their overall wellness because I have a passion for providing inclusive care and promoting patient empowerment.
More specifically, I utilize a strengths-based and whole person approach which assumes that all individuals have an inner resilience that can be utilized to live the life they want to live. I practice with the belief that all people have this innate capacity and fundamental desire for healing.
“Larama has helped me tremendously, I only wish I could rate her higher than 5 stars. She listens to every word you speak and literally on the fly digresses them in medical terms. I cannot recommend any psychiatrist higher.”

Oluranti Adepoju, MD, is a skilled and compassionate Psychiatrist at Revive Holistic Psychiatry in Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Dr. Adepoju helps people experiencing mental health problems to find solutions to underlying issues. She provides high-quality and individualized care for all patients and an evidence-based and holistic approach to treatment whenever possible.
Education and learning have always been of importance to Dr. Adepoju. She achieved her MD at the University of Saint Eustatius School of Medicine Netherlands-Antilles, followed by a Residency in Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut Medical Center and a fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry at Boston Medical Center in Massachusetts.
Dr. Adepoju understands that mental health problems challenge many people, and they often feel hopeless in their journey to feeling whole again.
Patients are often anxious or depressed, lack the motivation to work, isolate themselves from family and friends, lose interest in the things they used to enjoy, or perform poorly at their jobs.
The root issue is that most adults don’t understand the underlying causes of depression, anxiety, other mental health conditions, and/or other factors affecting mental health.
Dr. Adepoju believes when she treats patients holistically, she can address root causes so they can return to living a more balanced and fulfilled life.
Her clinical specialties include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, substance use disorder and substance abuse, eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, sleep disorders like insomnia, and psychosis.
Certifications include the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN), the American Board of Addiction Psychiatry, ECFMG Certification, and the State of Massachusetts license.
I am a dually certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatric mental health and family medicine. I began my nurse practitioner career in family medicine in a small rural community in Vermont where I enjoyed taking care of the physical and mental health of individuals and families. More recently, I worked in college health where I spent much of my time caring for the psychiatric needs of students. I found that I loved taking care of my patients-providing lifestyle counseling, integrative approaches and medication.
Fueled by this newfound passion I returned to Regis College for a post-master’s certification in psychiatric mental health. In my practice, I am committed to allow for time to facilitate therapeutic relationships and trust with my patients with a compassionate and open approach. I work with patients in a collaborative way to empower and educate them to participate in their treatment, working toward their goals for optimal wellness.
