Jerome Obiagba
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, patients would gain an experience that is empathetic, collaborative, holistic, and empowering. My goal is not just to treat mental illness but to help patients regain control over their lives, improve their quality of life, and feel truly heard and supported.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP), the experience patients would gain would be one of compassionate, patient-centered, and holistic mental health care.
By providing personalized, evidence-based, and culturally competent care, I ensure that each patient walks away with hope, trust, and confidence in their journey to mental wellness.
First session
Treatment goals and outcomes include but are not limited to helping clients build new, healthy communities to support their longer term recovery. Reduce secondary symptoms such as anxiety, Minimize disruption to the person's development in areas such as education, work and social pursuits, prevent relapse and enhance the quality of life.
Strengths
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP), the experience patients would gain would be one of compassionate, patient-centered, and holistic mental health care. My role extends beyond just diagnosing and treating mental illnesses; it involves fostering trust, promoting healing, and empowering patients to take control of their mental well-being.
Ideal clients
My patients would leave each session feeling more informed and empowered about their mental health conditions and treatment options. Educating them about their diagnosis, coping strategies, and medication side effects allows them to make informed choices about their care. For instance, a patient newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder would have a clear understanding of mood stabilizers, triggers, and the importance of sleep regulation, helping them actively participate in their treatment plan.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I have used this technique by asking open-ended questions that invite the person to share their thoughts and feelings. Offered affirmations that show support and respect for the person's strengths and efforts. Practicing reflective listening that expresses empathy and confirms understanding. Summarized the main points and themes of the conversation and eliciting feedback
