Great to meet you!

I’m Amaka Linda Iheaka, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I earned my BSN from Grand Canyon University and my master’s degree from Walden University. With eight years of inpatient mental health experience, I bring compassion and understanding to my work. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy for patients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and centered on your needs. I combine therapy and medication management when appropriate, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and supportive therapy. I take time to understand your concerns, help you build practical coping skills, and explain medication options clearly. Together, we create a treatment plan that reflects your goals.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know you and understand what brings you to care. We’ll explore your symptoms, medical and mental health history, current medications, and goals. You’ll have space to share your experiences and ask questions. Together, we’ll discuss how therapy, medication, or a combination of both may support you and decide on the next steps.
