I believe that everyone is capable of living a life that feels purposeful. Sometimes because of a predisposition to depression or anxiety, losses or traumas endured through life, or the ways we were taught to think about ourselves, that purposeful life can seem like a distant possibility. Through careful psychiatric history taking, medication considerations and supportive therapy, I would like to help you thrive!

Hello, I’m Adedayo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of healthcare experience including experienced across medical-surgical, skilled nursing, inpatient psychiatric care, and addiction medicine settings.

Above all, I am committed to helping you build resilience, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers compassionate, trauma-informed medication management within a warm, collaborative space. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, and periods of transition, and I deeply value creating a sense of safety and understanding in the therapeutic relationship.

I approach mental health with curiosity and care, believing that symptoms often carry important information about what the nervous system has been holding or managing for a long time. Clients often share that they feel heard, respected, and less alone in our work together. My intention is to support people in reconnecting with themselves and moving through life with greater steadiness and self-trust.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boston

Finding the right psychiatrist in Boston starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.

Boston has a large concentration of mental health providers, but finding one who accepts your insurance and is taking new patients can still be a challenge. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or practices near your neighborhood in areas like Back Bay, Cambridge, or Jamaica Plain. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Psychiatry sessions in Boston can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
