I’m Ine Saka, PMHNP-BC, FNP, and founder of Empathy Wellness Center, currently serving Maryland and Virginia. As a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, integrating traditional psychiatry with wellness-focused approaches to support mind, body, and spirit.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and NY licensed creative arts therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. As a clinical social worker, I am licensed in New York, Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia. I have a Master in Social Work from Fordham University, a Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University. I have worked in various mental health settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, school settings, nursing homes, residential treatment center and outpatient mental clinic. I am certified in Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) and is a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I am currently pursuing a certification in Somatic Experiencing (Advanced Level), TF-CBT, and AEDP therapist (ES Level 1). I have experienced working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.
As a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker helping individuals heal is really important to me. Throughout my years of specialized training and experience, I have worked with adults facing post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences with particular emphasis on active duty /veteran centered care to also include other government agencies.
My clinical emphasis is in trauma-focused treatment, and I am trained in several proven therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). By integrating these methods, I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, helping individuals safely process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of control in their lives.
