Tene Nana

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, substance use concerns, and other mental health challenges.

My experience includes outpatient psychiatry as well as inpatient behavioral health and dual-diagnosis care. I also bring an extensive medical nursing background in critical care, telemetry, and medical-surgical settings, which helps me consider the connection between physical and mental health when caring for my patients.

I believe effective psychiatric care should be collaborative, patient-centered, and individualized. I take time to understand your symptoms, concerns, medical and psychiatric history, and treatment goals before developing a plan of care. My approach incorporates comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, evidence-based treatment, medication management, patient education, and ongoing monitoring. When medication is appropriate, I want you to understand your options and feel comfortable participating in decisions about your treatment.

Your first session is an opportunity for me to understand what you are experiencing and what you hope to accomplish through treatment. We will discuss your current symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, medications, previous treatments, and other factors that may be affecting your mental health. I will answer your questions and work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include medication when clinically appropriate. My goal is for you to leave the first appointment with a clearer understanding of your treatment options and the next steps in your care.

I strive to create a respectful and supportive environment where you feel heard and comfortable discussing your mental health. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety or depression, ADHD treatment and medication management, a mood disorder, or ongoing psychiatric care, I look forward to working with you toward improved mental health and quality of life.
