Dr. Joyce Akrong

I'm Dr. Joyce Akrong, a licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to helping you feel like yourself again. I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice with a specialty in psychiatry at Virginia Commonwealth University and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing, and I bring that strong clinical background into every session.

I provide a focused, evidence‐based care for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, with treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and goals.

When you sit with me, my goal is for you to feel comfortable, knowing you don’t have to filter or pretend. I have cared for people with different disorders like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and others through intense moments of crisis. I understand how heavy life can feel. With a calm presence, a listening ear, and a collaborative spirit, as well as medication management, I will meet you exactly where you are.

I will work with you to create a path toward stability, hope, and a life that feels more peaceful and more like you. If you are ready to take the next step toward relief, clarity, and emotional stability, I am here to partner with you in creating a more hopeful and manageable life.
