My Approach to Helping
My name is Patience Akhimien DnP, a certified family and psychiatric nurse practitioner, midwife, registered nurse-certified inpatient obstetrics, and certified RTS (Relief Through Sharing).
I assist patients with psychiatric and medical evaluations, including medication management and therapy sessions. I apply and teach patients various therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) 6 dimensions. I see ages 6 to 100, including antepartum and postpartum patients with exhaustion, anxiety, depression, mood conditions, addiction, and family crisis. I also see virtual clients who prefer weekends, including Sundays.
