Dr. Zainab Taiwo

I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over 10+ of experience in the mental health field, and 3 years as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I founded Isimi Health & Wellness to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. My clinical background spans across PHP/IOP settings, Outpatient psychiatry, TMS, and telepsychiatry. I’ve worked with diverse populations experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for mood instability, clarity around your medication options, or a space to reset and realign, I’m honored to walk alongside you on your wellness journey.

My approach to care is rooted in collaboration, cultural attunement, and evidence-based practice. I believe healing happens when clients feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I integrate psychopharmacology with holistic strategies to promote long-term wellness, not just symptom relief. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual—centered around their goals, lifestyle, and values.

In our first session, clients can expect a warm, collaborative conversation focused on understanding their mental health needs, personal history, and treatment goals. We’ll explore what’s currently working, what feels stuck, and what support looks like for you. I’ll ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, and any previous experiences with therapy or medication, while allowing space for you to share at your own pace. By the end of the session, we’ll begin forming a treatment plan tailored to your values, preferences, and wellness goals.
