Welcome! I’m Dr. Ferdinand Akoko, a board-certified psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, and insomnia, bipolar, adjustment disorders. My practice focuses on providing thoughtful medication management and collaborative care in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. In our initial sessions, we’ll work together to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and develop a tailored plan. I take an integrative approach, which allows me to consider all aspects of your health and well-being as we work toward lasting solutions.

I provide medication management for patients suffering from a broad range of mental health problems. I work with a few therapists, and we can develop an excellent treatment plan for you.

One of the areas that I am most passionate about is drug-related counseling and helping individuals with drug-related problems, post-pattern depression, cancer-related depression, and teens who are having a hard time navigating through life

Coaching
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Compassion Focused
Person-Centered

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
