Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Michael Nwandu. Dedicated, highly motivated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have a wide range of medication management experience across the lifespan, including ADHD, eating disorders, substance use disorders, OCD, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I believe successful medication management is based on open communication between you and me. Strong focus on listening to you, addressing your concerns, and answering all your questions.

With multiple years of experience in mental health, when medication is indicated, I believe it is best to start low and go slow. I work closely with therapists as I focus on medication management to treat children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health disorders.

My approach to therapy

I’m very comfortable with complex, acute, and chronic cases. I also collaborate closely with medical providers to provide comprehensive collaborative care. I’m dedicated to helping individuals return to their optimal level of health in a timely manner

What you can expect from me

We'll start with a conversation to get to know each other. I'll explain my role, approach, and what you can expect from our work together. This is also your chance to ask questions and see if the fit feels right. We will review the concerns and goals and work together to create a plan that aligns with the patient's goals, preferences, and values.
