Rasheedat Koleosho
Hello! I am Rasheedat Koleosho, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience delivering compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I am also Clozapine REM-certified, offering expert management of complex treatment plans involving clozapine. My clinical background includes working in crisis stabilization centers, inpatient psychiatric settings, and Level I trauma emergency rooms as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, where I have cared for individuals experiencing acute psychiatric crises, severe mental health conditions, and complex behavioral health needs. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide calm, compassionate, and effective care in both high-acuity and long-term treatment settings.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance of warmth, consistency, and personalized care I offer through supportive therapy.
My approach to care is holistic and individualized—I aim to understand the full picture of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being to craft a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. Whether through supportive therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I work collaboratively with you in a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard and valued. My goal is to help you build resilience, restore balance, and move toward lasting mental wellness.
First session
In our first session, I begin by reviewing any collateral information from your intake to avoid redundancy and ensure our time is focused on you. I strive to get to know you as a person, starting with your chief concerns and moving into a holistic, comprehensive assessment. This includes screening for psychiatric disorders, ruling out overlapping symptoms, and discussing your goals, hobbies, strengths, and any trauma history if relevant. I am committed to providing trauma-informed care when appropriate and tailoring treatment goals to your unique needs. Together, we develop a treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes and, when necessary, a cautious approach to medication by starting low and going slow. I believe in accountability, collaboration, and meeting you where you are, while also encouraging steady progress toward your goals. My approach is holistic, professional, and relatable, always aiming to support your growth in a way that feels authentic and achievable.
Strengths
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance of warmth, consistency, and personalized care I offer through supportive therapy. I don't rush the process: we go at your pace. I listen closely, validate your experiences, and offer guidance that’s grounded in compassion and practicality. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely cared for, not just clinically managed. My sessions focus on emotional safety and trust, which fosters long-term engagement and real progress. Over time, many experience improved emotional regulation, greater self-awareness, and the confidence to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and resilience.
Ideal clients
I work best with individuals seeking compassionate, client-centered care to manage mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and schizoaffective disorder. My clients are often looking for effective medication management and holistic treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. Whether they are navigating life transitions, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or seeking stability, I strive to empower them to regain control and improve their overall well-being.
Treatment methods
Supportive
In my practice, I use the supportive treatment method to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, validated, and encouraged. This approach focuses on fostering emotional resilience, strengthening coping skills, and empowering individuals to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. By offering empathy, active listening, and personalized guidance, I help clients build on their strengths and work toward their mental health goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be impacting their well-being. This structured and goal-oriented approach focuses on developing practical coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and fostering healthier thinking patterns. By working collaboratively, I guide clients in challenging unhelpful beliefs and replacing them with more constructive perspectives to support lasting positive change.
