I am interested in helping those that are serious about their mental health. Just inquiring about potential services to help with your mental health is a great start. I take management of mental health using medication management with some talk therapy very seriously. Everyone literally does not fit in the same box of medications. I take detailed history and come up with a treatment plan if needed to better meet your mental health needs. I just need you to trust the process. I can help you! My name is Dr. Sylvia Udokoro Nwakanma. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner.
Dr. Nwakanma works with patients of all ages on mental health conditions like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders, Major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use disorder and more ages 6YRS and UP.
Dr. Nwakanma is looking forward to working alongside you to improve your overall health and well-being. She is very thorough and will not just follow a map she will tailor your treatment specific to you and will monitor your mental health closely every step of the way.
