Hi, and welcome! I am Joy Nnebe, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am thrilled you’re considering working with me.

I have 8 years of experience in psychiatric/mental health nursing, and I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and more, using approaches like CBT therapy and trauma-informed care.

Hello! I'm Stephanie, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing experience and six years specializing in psychiatric care. I earned my PMHNP certification from Maryville University and hold a Master's degree in Nursing with a focus on Executive Healthcare from Chamberlain University.

I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations across multiple care settings—from residential treatment facilities and inpatient psychiatric hospitals to outpatient clinics and correctional healthcare systems. This breadth of experience has given me a deep understanding of mental health challenges across the lifespan and in various life circumstances.

I specialize in treating adults and adolescents dealing with serious mental illness, including mood disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety, psychotic disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and geriatric mental health concerns. I'm particularly passionate about serving individuals who have been underserved or face complex mental health challenges.

My recent advanced certifications in ADHD, personality disorders, and geriatric mental health reflect my commitment to staying current with evidence-based treatments. I've also served in senior leadership roles, which has enhanced my ability to coordinate comprehensive care and advocate for my patients' needs. I actively mentor nursing students and residents, which keeps me connected to the latest developments in psychiatric care and reminds me daily of the importance of compassionate, patient-centered treatment.

My approach emphasizes cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed care, and collaborative treatment planning. I integrate evidence-based psychopharmacology with supportive therapeutic techniques to address both symptoms and underlying factors. I'm passionate about reducing mental health stigma and improving access to quality psychiatric care.

Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or simply “not like themselves.” Whether the root is mental health, hormones, or a mix of both, my goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind — and create a plan that actually helps you feel better.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience treating complex chronic conditions, acute medical issues, and a wide range of mental health concerns.

I am double board‐certified as an FNP‐BC and PMHNP‐BC, which allows me to integrate medical and psychiatric expertise. This means I look at the full picture — hormones, sleep, stress, mood, lifestyle, and physical health — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and evidence‐based. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life. You deserve care that feels supportive, personalized, and focused on long‐term wellness.

If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, I’m here to help you get there.
