Great to meet you!

Hello, and welcome. My name is Dr. Theresa Baffour, and I’m a Board Certified Licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With a strong foundation in nursing, I pursued a Master's degree in Clinical Nursing Leadership at Rutgers University, followed by a Doctorate degree from Rutgers University. Further expanding my expertise, I obtained a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) qualification from Wilkes University, with a focus on diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions through both evaluation and medication management.

Whether you’re exploring treatment for the first time or looking for continued support, I offer a safe, respectful space to begin that journey. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. You don’t have to go through this alone, I’m here to help.

Services Offered:

  • Psychiatric evaluations and diagnostic assessments
  • Medication management
  • Ongoing treatment planning and monitoring
  • Collaboration with therapists and other providers as needed

I currently offer in-person / virtual / hybrid appointments. New clients are welcome.

Thank you for considering me as a partner in your mental health care.

Warmly,

Theresa Baffour, DNP, RN, CNL, PMHNP-BC
