Mavis Barbara Sarbeng Boama

I am a certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-C). I completed my Bachelor of Nursing degree at Chamberlain University in Chicago, Illinois. Further, I pursued a Master of Science in psychiatry at Walden University, which allowed me to obtain certification as a psychiatric nurse practitioner. With extensive clinical experience in psychiatry, I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and families navigating challenges such as depression, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders. My background allows me to care for the whole person, addressing the complex connections between physical health, emotional well-being, and life balance.

My care philosophy is holistic, patient-centered, and rooted in integrative psychiatry. I believe mental health care must address the whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—while remaining culturally sensitive and empathetic. I combine personalized, evidence-based psychopharmacology with integrative therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we will discover the root causes of your challenges, establish realistic goals, and build long-term resilience.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where your voice and personal experiences are prioritized. We will perform a comprehensive assessment of your clinical history, lifestyle, and goals. We will discuss your treatment options collaboratively, ensuring you feel completely supported and comfortable with every aspect of your personalized care plan before moving forward.
