Mbetazi Asongacha

Hello! I'm Tazi, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 20 years of healthcare experience, including more than 12 years in behavioral health and psychiatric care. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, schizophrenia, and other mental health concerns. My background includes working with adults, children, and older adults in inpatient, outpatient, and correctional healthcare settings. I am passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout your mental health journey.

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on your individual needs. I believe everyone deserves to feel understood and supported without judgment. I take time to understand your experiences, concerns, and goals so we can develop a treatment plan that works for you. Through evidence-based care, medication management, supportive therapy, and patient education, I aim to help you better understand your mental health and work toward meaningful progress.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding your mental health needs. We will discuss your concerns, personal experiences, medical and mental health history, and what you hope to achieve through treatment. I will conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, answer your questions, and discuss appropriate treatment options based on your individual needs. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and more comfortable taking the next step toward better mental health.
