Great to meet you!

Dr. Zakiyyah Weatherspoon is a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience. Since 2011, she has worked in family medicine, and since 2013, she has focused on mental health care across the lifespan. Her background includes treating children, teens and adults in hospitals, private practices, and community settings.

My approach to therapy

Her approach is based on the Mental Health Recovery Model, which focuses on hope, healing, and building a life beyond diagnosis.

What you can expect from me

A psychiatric diagnostic evaluation is a structured medical conversation and assessment used by a healthcare provider to understand your mental health, figure out an accurate diagnosis, and create a treatment plan.
