Felista Anugom
As a doctoral prepared, dual specialty board-certified nurse practitioner specialized in psychiatry mental health, and primary care, I utilize my extensive education, profound expertise, a holistic approach, and decades of experience to provide personalized care to every patient under my care. I provide 100% Telehealth services. I pride myself on my skilled ability to listen attentively, empathize, and personalize every patient's care to meet their unique mental health needs. I am passionate and use a compassionate, patient-centered, holistic, and evidence-based model to approach and manage each patient's needs. I am accepting new patients for telehealth visits.
While everyone is unique, I've found that clients typically start making measurable progress after our first four sessions together.
First session
My clients should expect to work with a clinician who will actively listening to them without any bias, and work together to develop a treatment plan.
Strengths
I see a variety of cases ranging from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, Anger, eating disorder, ADHD, PTSD etc.
Ideal clients
I serve all array of clients, from children to adult. I endeavor to connect with my patient by practicing empathy. In other words, aligning my feelings with those of my clients. I acknowledge their emotions and react to them appropriately. If my clients are feeling happy and expressing themselves, I share in their joy. If they’re going through a difficult situation, I show concern. The key is to validate their feelings and offer genuinely helpful solutions.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) because it's an evidence-based approach to behavior change. Since It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion, I find out that this a very good treatment approach for my patient and they respond well to it.
