Funmi Ekundare
Hi! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Texas. Before getting into nursing I was a psychologist, then went into nursing which I have been into for over 14 years. I had my APRN-FNP IN 2016, at the University of Texas - Arlington and later got my PMHNP IN 2023 from the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. My accumulation and experience in both medical, psychology and psychiatry give me a wide knowledge and understanding and approach to client cases.
First session
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, and then detailed information into your challenges and expectations. The information provided will guide us in creating the right diagnosis, and treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions
Strengths
Having worked in medical areas, with different patients, a wide age range, of different cultural backgrounds has helped me develop a unique to relating to people, which helps in patient-clinician relationships. With young professionals for the past 7 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I love to work with clients who are willing to improve and are ready to fight for their wellness.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I include CBT with psychopharmacology by educating the patients on how their behaviour is contributing to their mental and psychiatry illness and offering alternatives to produce the desired outcome
