Abosede Haygood
I am a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care. I specialize in diagnosing and treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health conditions. My approach focuses on evidence-based treatments, including medication management and therapy, to help clients achieve balance and well-being. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered on their mental health journey.
My focus on evidence-based practices, combined with my compassion and commitment to ongoing learning, allows me to provide thoughtful and effective care to each of my clients.
First session
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll discuss your concerns and mental health history. I'll take time to understand your symptoms, challenges, and goals for treatment. We’ll talk about any previous treatments you’ve had and any current medications. I'll work with you to create a personalized plan that may include therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, depending on your needs. My focus is on building trust and understanding so we can collaborate effectively in your mental health journey.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to actively listen and build strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and understood. I take the time to gain a comprehensive understanding of each client's unique experiences, concerns, and goals, allowing me to develop individualized, patient-centered treatment plans that align with their needs. By combining evidence-based clinical practices with compassion, empathy, and a commitment to lifelong learning, I am able to deliver high-quality psychiatric care that supports meaningful progress and improved overall well-being. I value collaboration and empower clients to take an active role in their treatment, fostering a partnership that promotes long-term success and recovery.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve clients who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. I work with individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults, who need compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My ideal clients may have difficulty with focus, mood regulation, impulsivity, or coping with past trauma and life stressors. I also support those facing major life transitions, such as young adults navigating college or professionals managing work-life balance. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to improve their mental health and overall well-being. While I provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for ADHD, I do not prescribe Schedule II stimulant medications. I welcome patients who are interested in managing ADHD symptoms through evidence-based non-stimulant treatment options and medication management. Additionally, I am available to assist with FMLA, disability, and other clinical documentation requests. However, patients must establish care and attend at least 4 appointments before such paperwork can be completed. This requirement allows sufficient time to conduct a thorough assessment, develop an appropriate treatment plan, monitor progress, and accurately document diagnoses, treatment interventions, and response to care.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use CPT to help patients, especially those with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, process traumatic experiences and develop healthier thought patterns. Sessions typically involve structured discussions, written exercises, and skill-building techniques to shift maladaptive beliefs. I guide patients in recognizing how their thoughts about trauma impact emotions and behaviors, empowering them to regain control over their mental health.
