Hi there, my name is Zakiyyah . I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner whose goal is to help improve the quality of your life. My goal is to form a therapeutic alliance and work together to safely achieve your goals. I want to personally commend you for taking the first step in your mental health care. I enjoy discussing medication , their method of action and educating my patients and their families. I enjoy discussing holistic care and "believe in prescribing the least amount of medication necessary".
In our first session , we will start with introductions and then dive into the completing an initial psychiatric evaluation! I will have you tell me what has you considering medication management and discuss your history and current challenges!
I love to listen and understand first, then I love to educate patients and their family on psychopharmacology!
I love working with patients from all different backgrounds. It is important to approach each day well rested, with mental clarity , motivation and ready to take on your challenges!
Hi, its very important to know and understand that we cannot control every aspect of lives or the world around us but rather, I can help you to understand how you can control , how you interpret and cope with stress in your enviornement!
I want to provide you emotional support, encouragement, validation of your feelings and experiences especially during difficult life challenges and psychological challenges.
