Ephraim Fombo

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner, with seven years of clinical practice at this level. I became an RN for 15 years. During my years as psychiatric provider, I have cared for patients, both acute and ambulatory, with a wide array of behavioral health disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, personality disorders, autism, intellectual disability, intermittent explosive disorder, ADHD, PTSD and others. My formats of practice have been both the in-person and virtual formats. In my practice, care is centered around the patient and each patient is unique and is treated with respect, and their personal choices, circumstances and wishes are central in the plan of care. Recovery from mental illness happens step by step, and is a journey that is characterized often, by increments and decrements.
