Great to meet you!

I am Joy, Nwankwo, your psychiatric mental health provider board certified in managing complex psychiatric conditions and disorders.

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I have an impressive and solid academic background in psychiatry with many years of experience in mental health. For over 14 years, I have worked with many patients across the lifespan, including adults, geriatrics, adolescents, and children across the lifespan facing various concerns.

My approach to therapy

I strongly believe in not letting your struggle become your identity, because a healthy mind is the greatest gift. Remember, mental illness is not a personal failure. Let us work towards a healthy mindset and a positive road to recovery together. My vision for starting optimum psychiatric care and wellness is to take care of my patients without stigma and judgment. Let us walk through life with empathy and mental health support in my practice!

What you can expect from me

Patients can expect our initial session to be about the reason for the visit, discussion of symptoms , forming a treatment plan and education. I will aim to understand your concerns , your current mental health challenges and struggles and work towards an individualized plan for your needs. We will also address steps to take in emergency situations. I create an open , approachable environment for all my patients.
