I’m Dr. Oludotun Peters, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, and I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals dealing with mental health challenges. At Sunvalley Behavioral Clinic, I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them manage conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. My goal is to empower patients with the tools and support they need to improve their mental well-being and lead fulfilling lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In their first session at Sunvalley Behavioral Clinic, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable discussing their mental health concerns. The session typically begins with a brief introduction, where I explain my approach and address any questions they may have about the process. Clients will have the opportunity to share their reasons for seeking help, including their thoughts, feelings, and specific challenges they are facing. I prioritize active listening to fully understand their unique experiences and concerns. This session is also a time for me to gather relevant background information, including their medical history, current symptoms, and any previous treatments they may have undergone. Since I specialize in psychiatry, I focus on assessing their mental health needs and determining the most appropriate medication options. By the end of the session, clients should feel a sense of relief, knowing they have taken the first step toward their mental health journey, and I will provide them with a clear plan for moving forward, including any medication recommendations and follow-up appointments.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider at Sunvalley Behavioral Clinic, my greatest strengths lie in my empathy, compassion, and approachable nature. I create a warm and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences, fostering trust and open communication. With specialized training in psychiatry, I have a comprehensive understanding of various mental health conditions and the medications available to treat them, allowing me to tailor effective, evidence-based treatment plans. I believe in treating the whole person, considering physical health, lifestyle, and personal circumstances to promote overall well-being. My strong assessment skills enable me to accurately identify underlying issues, ensuring that clients receive the most effective interventions from the outset. I strive to build not just an office relationship, but a personal connection with my clients, encouraging collaboration and involvement in their treatment journey. My passion for working with children allows me to create a safe and engaging space for young clients, helping them navigate their unique challenges with resilience. Together, these strengths empower me to provide compassionate care that inspires clients to take charge of their mental health and achieve their goals.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I specialize in psychiatric care and use various evidence-based approaches to help patients navigate their mental health challenges. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is one method I incorporate to empower individuals to make meaningful changes by exploring their own reasons for change in a supportive and empathetic environment. I aim to help patients build self-confidence and motivation, guiding them toward their mental health goals.
Psychoeducation
In my practice, I focus on providing comprehensive psychiatric care, with a strong emphasis on psychoeducation. By helping patients understand their mental health conditions and treatment options, I empower them to take an active role in their care. My approach combines education and support to enhance patient insight, reduce stigma, and promote lasting well-being. I aim to create a collaborative environment where patients feel informed and confident in managing their mental health.
Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is a therapeutic approach focused on enhancing well-being by promoting strengths, resilience, and positive emotions, rather than just treating mental illness. In my practice, I incorporate elements of positive psychology to help patients cultivate a more fulfilling life by building on their existing strengths and fostering optimism. This approach can improve emotional resilience, life satisfaction, and overall mental health, empowering individuals to thrive rather than merely cope with challenges. By focusing on what's going well and creating a balanced outlook, positive psychology supports long-term personal growth.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is a therapeutic approach rooted in the principles of psychoanalysis, focusing on understanding unconscious processes, past experiences, and how they influence present behavior. In my practice, I use psychodynamic techniques to explore the underlying emotional conflicts that may contribute to mental health issues. By uncovering and working through these hidden patterns, patients gain greater self-awareness and insight into their thoughts and behaviors. This approach aims to foster long-term emotional growth and resolve deep-seated issues, helping individuals achieve more balanced mental health.
