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. 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. More than 12 years are focused on 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, 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.

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

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest 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.
