Nikky Ogunleye
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with six years of experience providing care to individuals across a broad range of psychiatric conditions. I am committed to delivering compassionate, individualized treatment for those experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, substance use, family conflict, and loneliness.
I utilize a blended PMHNP model that integrates supportive care, psychoeducation, and compassion-focused work to reduce shame, improve understanding, and build coping capacity—while maintaining a strong focus on stabilization and real-world functioning.
In my practice, I integrate supportive therapy techniques, psychoeducation, and compassion-focused interventions to help patients gain insight into their symptoms, reduce self-criticism, build coping skills, and move toward greater stability, healing, and overall well-being.
