Hello, my name is NP Nkem. I am a passionate Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 10+ years of experience in the healthcare/ public health field. First, I create a nonjudgmental and safe environment to form rapport. Letting patient take charge of their mental health by providing information that enables informed decisions. Then assess mental health needs of individuals, Develop healthcare plans, implement treatment and evaluate the treatment's effectiveness and progress.
I take holistic approach toward making sure Patient’s mental health needs are met. First visit is about getting to know clients . So, we will talk about patient’s symptoms /mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social health.
I understand how resilient human spirit can be as they can overcome so many challenges of the past and create the life they want to live. I am also passionate about the benefit of initiating psychotropic medications if needed. I collaborate with patient on what treatment plan that will yield expected health outcome. Medications are chosen based on brain chemistry we are targeting. I also, I use pharmacogenomic test that analyzes a patient's DNA to determine how they may metabolize and respond to certain psychiatric medications.
I am caring for patients 11years and to 80years old.

Nkem Ani was very warm and I felt as though her evaluation was very thorough and client centered. She listened to everything nonjudgmentally and made me feel very comfortable with her. I'm happy with our treatment plan and feel comfortable to reach out to her with any questions or concerns.
