Jason de Luisa
Jason started his healthcare career in the military — first as a Hospital Corpsman in the United States Air Force, then as a Combat Field Medic with the New Hampshire Army National Guard. After his service, he spent a year with AmeriCorps working with at-risk youth before going into nursing.
He spent years in emergency departments in New Mexico and New Hampshire, then worked in primary care, healthcare for homeless patients, and community mental health. In 2010, he opened Oak Street Clinic in Albuquerque — a multi-provider primary care and behavioral health clinic that he owned and operated for six years, serving over 5,000 patients. He also holds a master's degree in Oriental Medicine and practiced acupuncture and integrative care alongside conventional medicine during that time.
He moved into psychiatric practice full-time after completing his post-master's PMHNP training at the University of Cincinnati. Since then, he has provided psychiatric care in Alaska's correctional system, community mental health settings in Juneau, and locum tenens positions in Kodiak and Portland.
He founded Wellness Alaska because he saw how difficult it was for people across the state to get in to see a psychiatric provider — especially one who takes insurance. The practice is built around what he kept hearing patients say they needed: an appointment they could actually get, a provider who would listen, and someone with enough experience to not be guessing. New patient appointments are typically available within a day or two — not weeks or months.
He is dual board-certified in psychiatric mental health (PMHNP-BC) and family medicine (FNP-BC), holds an active Alaska APRN license, and is credentialed with Alaska Medicaid and major commercial insurance plans. His clinical focus is ADHD evaluation and medication management, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and insomnia. He works closely with referring PCPs, therapists, and other providers — and for patients whose PCP referred them for stabilization, he can return ongoing management back to their primary care provider once things are stable.

Laura Brewer-James
Laura has been taking care of people for over 20 years — and not in one narrow lane. She started in primary care and emergency medicine, then moved into behavioral health, substance abuse treatment, and psychiatric care. She has seen patients at their worst and walked with them through it. That background shapes how she practices: she pays attention to the whole person, not just the presenting complaint.
She spent over a decade at a tribal nation health system in Oklahoma, where she served the same communities year after year as both a family nurse practitioner and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Primary care visits in the morning, psychiatric evaluations in the afternoon, emergency department shifts when she was needed. The people she treated knew her, and she knew them. That kind of continuity — knowing someone's family, their history, what they've already tried — is where her clinical instincts come from.
She went on to serve as Chief Medical Officer at a community mental health clinic in Juneau, Alaska, and continues to provide crisis and addiction services in Oklahoma. She has worked with patients who were in the system for years without getting better, patients who gave up on treatment and came back, and patients who were terrified to walk through the door the first time. None of that is unfamiliar to her.
At Wellness Alaska, Laura provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related conditions. She is the kind of provider who will actually read your intake paperwork before your appointment, remember what you said last time, and not rush you out the door. She coordinates with referring providers and is comfortable picking up where a PCP or therapist left off.
She is a Doctor of Nursing Practice, dual board-certified in psychiatric mental health (PMHNP-BC) and family medicine (FNP-BC), and holds an active Alaska APRN license.
