Sylvie Djoumessi

Welcome! I'm Sylve D., a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of healthcare experience. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey toward better mental health.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and unhurried. I take the time to get to know you as a whole person, not just your symptoms, so we can create a treatment plan that truly fits your life and goals.

Having lived in Cameroon, France, and the United States, I bring a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and the unique experiences each person carries. I'm fluent in English, French, and Yamba, and I'm happy to provide care in the language you're most comfortable with.

I offer both telehealth and in-person appointments and am licensed in Texas, Washington, California, Oregon, and Arizona.

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on you. I believe the best outcomes happen when we work together as partners, so I always take time to listen, understand your history, and learn what matters most to you.

During our first visit, I'll conduct a thorough evaluation that looks at the whole picture: your symptoms, physical health, relationships, culture, and life circumstances. From there, we'll create a personalized treatment plan together.

When medication is part of your care, I use a thoughtful, evidence-based approach. I explain your options clearly, start carefully, and adjust based on how you're feeling. I also consider lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, and daily routines, and I'm happy to coordinate with your therapist or primary care provider.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel respected and empowered to reach your goals.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what brings you in. It typically lasts about [60] minutes and can take place in person or via telehealth, whichever feels most comfortable for you.

We'll talk about your current concerns, symptoms, and goals, as well as your mental health history, medical history, medications, family background, and daily life. Please share at your own pace. There are no wrong answers, and you're always welcome to ask questions.

By the end of the session, I'll share my initial impressions, and we'll discuss treatment options together, which may include medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle changes, or further evaluation. You'll leave with a clear plan and next steps.

Most importantly, my goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and hopeful about the path forward.
