Amina Fofanah
Hi, I’m Amina, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 10 years of nursing experience, and caring for people has always been important to me. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, addiction, and other mental health concerns. I’m a good listener, and I want you to feel comfortable talking to me without feeling judged or rushed. I believe everyone’s situation is different, so I take the time to understand you and work with you to find a treatment plan that fits your individual needs.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I used this treatment approach by first listening to my patients and understanding their concerns, symptoms, and goals. I work together with each patient to develop a treatment plan that fits their individual needs. I provide education, support, and guidance throughout treatment and make adjustments when needed based on the patient’s progress.
