Hello, I'm Lemlem, a psychiatric nurse practitioner here to support and guide you through this journey. My current practice is rooted in meeting clients 'where they are,' working cohesively to untangle inner conflicts, and facilitating each client’s journey towards insight, agency, and self-efficacy. My approach is a blends of medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive psychotherapy to treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, attention-deficit, bipolar, depressive, obsessive-compulsive, personality, psychotic, somatic, substance-related, and trauma-related disorders.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Prepare to answer lots of questions, as I'm trying to get to know you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Understanding is key. I believe that as a provider, I need to understand my patients before I can treat them.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Preteen, Teen, adults, Elders (65+). All Communities (Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Non-Binary, Queer, Single Mothers/fathers & Transgender)

Psychoeducation
I find that psychoeducation helps clients better understand their mental health condition, reduces the stigma associated with mental health, and, by doing so, increases patients' adherence to treatment plans and medication.
