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!

Dr. Z has been such a great support for me for over a year now. Always warm and judgement free. Makes me feel very comfortable during session to be fully open. She found the medications that worked for me & I could not be more grateful. 10/10 experience

I have made consistent efforts to contact and stay in touch with my therapist, but despite reaching out multiple times, I have not received responses. I am currently navigating a life-changing period, and when it comes to submitting important paperwork, she fails to complete it in a timely manner. Additionally, she often shifts the blame for cancellations onto her clients, shows lack of accountability. Overall, I do not feel that she prioritizes her clients’ well-being or truly cares for them
