Doris Nwoko Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APN, PMHNP, BC (she, her)
Greetings! I’m Doris, a certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering fair and empathetic psychiatric care to individuals aged 5 to 65. My treatment approach places great importance on involving the patient, forming a therapeutic partnership, and enhancing outcomes by considering their developmental history, bio-psycho-social background, and how these factors relate to their condition.
I adhere to the patient-centered care model in my approach, which values diverse perspectives and actively engages the patient in decision-making and treatment planning. My experience spans various healthcare settings, including inpatient hospitals, residential facilities, and outpatient clinics, where I’ve addressed a wide range of mental health issues. These include but are not limited to depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and Autism, conduct disorders, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders.
I’m an attentive and compassionate listener, committed to providing care that aligns with each individual’s beliefs and values. Every interaction with a patient begins with a thorough listening process to gather comprehensive information about the intrinsic and extrinsic factors, as well as life or environmental aspects that may be contributing to or affected by their current mental health challenges.
