My name is Francisca (Franckie) Onunaku. I am a Primary Care Family practice Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I received my Master's Degree in Nursing for Adult-Generotolgy Primary Care Nurse Practitioner in 2019 and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in 2023, both Degrees were obtained from URSULINE COLLEGE. I have been practicing as both a Primary Care and Mental health Nurse Practitioner since 2019 and I decided to go back to school to obtain Post-Graduate Mental Health Certification considering that both the Mental Health and Primary Care Certifications will benefit the populations I serve which include: Early Adult to end of life(18 -100 years).

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first meeting or session together, we will start with a brief introduction, then we will move into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in the follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

-Having worked for more than 4 years, I have developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping my clients -identify the root cause of their challenges and create tailored plans that lead to measurable outcomes. -I have developed the skills of EMPOWERING--means giving the clients empowerment to have the freedom/skills/resources to change the challenges around them -I have acquired the skill of giving the clients AUTONOMY--means the clients are in control of their personal needs/wants in the agreement of appropriate treatment plans that will provide the best outcomes to their challenges.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve ages 18 years and above (Early Adults to late Adults) with any type of mental health needs including Anxiety/Depression/Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)/Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)/Substance use Disorders. I do provide Psychotherapy.
