Ekua Baiden Sokoya is my name and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP). With over a decade of experience, I specialize in personalized, holistic care for individuals facing emotional, mental, and psychological health concerns. I provide evidence-based treatment, combining therapeutic and pharmacological approaches, in a collaborative environment to foster resilience and empower clients toward improved well-being.
During the initial session, clients can expect a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where they are encouraged to share their mental health concerns and experiences. I will conduct a thorough assessment, asking questions to gain insight into their mental health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. We will discuss possible therapeutic and pharmacological options to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. The first session is an opportunity to establish trust and begin building a collaborative relationship that prioritizes the client's comfort and well-being. I aim to ensure that clients feel heard, understood, and empowered from the very start. The session also sets the foundation for ongoing care and treatment.

I serve clients with insomnia, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and prenatal or postpartum depression. My approach combines therapeutic interventions and medication management. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, helping them build coping skills, address underlying issues, and foster resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has involved the structured application of this evidence-based treatment method to identify and modify maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors, ultimately fostering the development of healthier coping strategies. I recognize CBT as a practical and effective tool in my practice, enabling me to assist clients in uncovering the cognitive and behavioral patterns that contribute to their distress and various mental health concerns. By integrating CBT into my therapeutic approach, I aim to enhance my clients’ overall mental wellness and resilience.

Ekua was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable in my first session with her! She gave me so much information that helped me to understand the medications and how they might make me feel. Her presence is so warm and inviting! I would definitely recommend her to anyone, but especially someone nervous about medication and psychiatry.
