Anthony Ofeinmun

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and I work with adults living with anxiety, depression, or substance use. A lot of people come to me unsure about medication — worried it will change who they are, or that they'll be handed a prescription and sent on their way. That isn't how I work. I want to understand what your days actually look like, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping will feel different. We decide together whether medication makes sense, and if it does, we start carefully and adjust as we learn what helps. You can ask me anything, including the questions you think might sound silly.

I take a steady, collaborative approach. You know your life better than I do, so I listen first and explain my thinking out loud instead of handing you a plan. If we use medication, I keep doses conservative and check in often. If something isn't working, we change it.

Our first visit is mostly me listening. I'll ask about your history, your health, your sleep, and what led you to reach out now. You don't need to have it organized. By the end we'll have a plan you agree with — and that plan can be to take more time before starting anything.
