Great to meet you!

I'm Gifty Danso, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, and since then, I've worked across a range of settings — inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and correctional facilities. That variety has given me a real appreciation for meeting people wherever they are in life. Over the years, I've supported adolescents, adults, and older adults dealing with everything from depression and anxiety to addiction and psychosis.

My approach to therapy

Yes, I'm trained in psychiatric evaluations, treatment planning, and crisis intervention — but what I care about most is actually hearing you. I want to understand what's happening in your world, not just check boxes on a chart. The way I work combines medication management with a genuine one-on-one relationship, so together we can look at how your treatment and your everyday environment are actually shaping how you feel.

What you can expect from me

I'm also a big believer in teamwork. I love collaborating with other providers and specialists to make sure you're getting care that covers the full picture, not just one piece of the puzzle. At the end of the day, my goal is pretty simple: I want you to feel heard, respected, and genuinely supported. I practice evidence-based care, but I never want it to feel clinical or cold — it should feel human, empowering, and like something that helps you move forward with real confidence.
