Shakira Olanrewaju

I am a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 16 years of nursing experience across medical and behavioral health settings. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and bring a strong foundation of clinical training and experience to the care I provide.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults, treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, attention and behavioral challenges, and stress-related conditions. My background across pediatric, geriatric, hospice, and mental health care allows me to see the full picture not just symptoms, but the person behind them.

I believe healing starts with feeling heard. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and actively involved in your care.

My approach is individualized and patient-centered. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture, your lifestyle, stressors, medical history, and personal goals. I provide comprehensive evaluations, thoughtful medication management when appropriate, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies tailored to your needs. I value shared decision-making and ensure you feel informed and confident in your care plan.

Your first visit is a thorough yet supportive evaluation. We will discuss your concerns, history, and goals in a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment. By the end of the session, we will collaborate on clear next steps, which may include medication options, therapy recommendations, or lifestyle strategies. You will leave with a better understanding of your symptoms and a personalized plan designed to support meaningful progress.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward improved mental wellness, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.
