Great to meet you!

It’s great pleasure to meet you.

I am Dr. Bernice Ivoko, DNP, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am passionate about delivering comprehensive and compassionate care to individuals facing a wide range of behavioral and mental health challenges, regardless of their background. I deeply value and respect the rights of those I serve, striving to provide care in a climate of trust and respect while honoring each individual’s personal values, beliefs, and preferences.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a distinguished background in healthcare and a profound dedication to patient care, which has shaped me into someone known for strong interpersonal communication skills, a high level of empathy, and patience. I combine these qualities with analytical skills and the ability to assess complex situations effectively. My goal is to continue providing a supportive, inclusive, and dynamic environment where you can thrive and where I can make meaningful contributions to your care.

What you can expect from our first session

During our first encounter I will do my best to understand your situation and ensure that you understand me. Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, including psychosocial assessments and risk assessment.
