Dr. Steve Akinbehinje

Team oriented, Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (ANCC), with record of establishing strong relationships with clients and families, as well as co-workers and local agencies. Professionally driven to support mental health community and help overcome obstacles that patients encounter on day-to-day basis.

My patient relationship has mutual trust involving a shared decision-making approach. Providing recommendations and the opportunity to let the patient choose a relevant treatment option. Communications are open and two-way between me and the patient. My personal philosophy is to treat patients as individuals and as equal partners in the business of healing, personalized, coordinated and enabling.

A therapeutic environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe with the goal of recognizing people’s capabilities and potential to manage and improve their own health, not seeing them simply as victims of disease or passive recipients of care.
