Rokima Knox
Hi! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I received my master's degree from Walden University. I have been in nursing for over 18 years. I have experience working with people across the lifespan, treating mainly anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I do not manage people in acute withdrawal at this time.
I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD doesn't go away in adulthood; it often manifests differently.
Safety, transparency, and evidence-based care are the foundation of my prescribing. Currently taking new clients ages 18-65 seeking medication management with optional supportive therapy. I believe in working with clients to manage mental health challenges and reach realistic, rewarding goals. I utilize the lowest therapeutic dose of medications and am conservative in prescribing controlled substances and polypharmacy.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is the ability to empathize. Having empathy is an integral factor in building a trusting patient-provider relationship.
Ideal clients
Life can be overwhelming and stressors can be augmented by complicated family dynamics, professional demands, and financial strain. Depression, anxiety, changes in attention span in addition to other mood disorders, can worsen a client's ability to focus on tasks at hand to live their most fulfilling life. It is important to recognize the connection of mind and body for true health to be achieved.
