About

Hello! I'm Tiruwork Hiruy. Do you feel anxious or sad, have mood swings, or experience forgetfulness? Do you battle with anger? Do you feel like your mental illness is getting in the way of enjoying your life to the fullest? I'm here to help you cope and restore your life.

They will have ease of mind knowing that the medication going into their body is safe and tailored to each of them to ensure their well-being.

I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) with over 20 years of professional nursing experience. I have dedicated more than 12 years to the field of psychiatry and behavioral health. For many years, I have worked with a diverse group of people struggling with anxiety, depression, mood swings, PTSD, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), substance use disorder (drugs and alcohol), etc. I have recently worked in different hospitals and nursing facilities with older adult (or geriatric) clients with Alzheimer's and dementia. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want me to help you feel like yourself again. I am highly committed to providing quality mental healthcare across life spans.

First session

In their first session with me, clients can expect a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, beginning with a warm introduction and followed by a discussion about their symptoms, concerns, and treatment goals. I will also delve into their personal and family history of mental health, as well as previous medications or therapies. This information will help me to formulate an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Clients will be educated about various treatment options and will have a clear understanding of the next steps by the end of the session. Throughout the process, client comfort, safety, and confidentiality will be prioritized, and all questions or concerns will be thoroughly addressed.

Strengths

One of my biggest strengths is my ability to exercise patience, be a good listener, and be empathetic. I work with diverse communities from different backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and socioeconomic conditions and know specific interventions to help my clients achieve peace.

Ideal clients

I am ideally suited to serve clients across all age groups who are dealing with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. This includes individuals in various settings, from hospitals to private practices, and those needing complex care management due to comorbidities like substance abuse or physical health conditions. My role also extends to providing psychoeducation therapy sessions and coordinating with other healthcare providers. In addition, I conduct psychiatric evaluations, manage medication, and provide follow-up care to ensure effective treatment plans.

Treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

As a psychiatry nurse practitioner, I extensively utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a mindfulness-based approach that encourages patients to accept and manage their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate or control them. This involves helping patients to be present, accept their experiences, defuse their thoughts, identify their values, and commit to behavior changes. Through a variety of techniques, including mindfulness exercises and experiential exercises, I guide patients to develop psychological flexibility, enabling them to lead a fulfilling life despite their mental health challenges.
