Dr. Tony Akpengbe, DNP
Hi there, I'm Tony. Do you feel burdened trying to reach a provider that has an answer to your needs? Do you think you are not being heard when you talk to your providers? Now you have an answer to these constraints.
My areas of expertise in treatment include the following: Depression and anxiety disorders, mood disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), insomnia, and nightmares.
I help teenagers and adults with mental health needs with medication treatment like anxiety, depression, mood, inability to focus, or easily distracted to reach their expected and desired outcomes. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming anxiety or depression and have been through a series of therapy sessions with no expected results, I'm here to help. Seeking a provider for medication therapy to augment your existing therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I'll meet you in our sessions with compassion and evidence-based techniques to overcome your mental health needs. Then, let's work together to reach that goal you have longed to achieve! Since this is telemedicine, I can only prescribe non-stimulant to help you with your focus. However, some non-stimulant have shown promising results and outcomes with focus and may be options to explore.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective approach that assists patients in identifying negative thought patterns and understanding the impact of these thoughts on their emotions. Such negative thinking often leads to outward expressions of feelings, which can result in increased anxiety and depression. This cycle of thought contributes to irrational reasoning, inadequate planning, and a pervasive sense of hopelessness or helplessness. The primary objective of CBT is to modify these detrimental thought patterns by enabling individuals to recognize cognitive distortions that contribute to their difficulties. Furthermore, it encourages patients to reassess their thoughts in the context of reality, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of their behaviors.
