Shiy Ajao

I am a qualified board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience. I specialize in mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Over a decade in mental health nursing, I have dedicated my career to mental health settings, catering to individuals across diverse age groups; children, adolescents, adults, and elderly. My unyielding dedication to mental health & innate drive to help people with mental challenges, distinguishes me as a PMHNP-BC.

I utilize evidence-based therapeutic interventions and provide personalized advice based on medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. Adjustments to medication or exploring alternative treatment options may be considered tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Medication management, when appropriate, is incorporated into the treatment plan, always considering the patient's preferences and concerns.

I employ a collaborative and empathetic approach, establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with my patients by working closely with them to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies and enhance problem-solving skills. My goal is to empower individuals to recognize, change dysfunctional thinking and behavior, leading to improved emotional regulation and overall well-being
