I am Dr. Seliat Dosunmu, a Board-Certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional balance and overall well-being. With over a decade of clinical experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client’s unique needs. My approach emphasizes understanding the whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—to create effective, personalized treatment plans that foster long-term growth and healing. I am passionate about building trusting relationships and empowering clients to take an active role in their mental health journey.
During your first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to care and what you hope to achieve through treatment. I’ll ask questions about your background, current concerns, and overall well-being to gain a clear understanding of your needs. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share expectations, and learn more about how we can work together. Together, we’ll begin creating a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, medication management, or a combination of both—depending on your goals and comfort level. Most importantly, you can expect a safe, judgment-free space where you are respected, supported, and encouraged to take an active role in your healing journey.
My greatest strengths lie in my ability to build genuine, trusting relationships and provide care that blends compassion with clinical expertise. I take a holistic, evidence-based approach—integrating therapy and medication management when appropriate—to address the emotional, behavioral, and biological aspects of mental health. Clients often describe my style as warm, collaborative, and empowering. I focus on helping individuals gain insight, develop practical coping strategies, and build resilience. By tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals, I create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and capable of meaningful change. My commitment is to help every client make steady, realistic progress toward greater emotional balance and an improved quality of life.
I am best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to take the next step toward emotional healing, personal growth, and mental wellness. I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, mood instability, trauma, ADHD, and stress-related challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward—but they are motivated to create positive change in their lives. My goal is to meet each person where they are, providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore their experiences and develop practical tools for lasting improvement. Whether you’re seeking to regain balance, strengthen relationships, or manage life transitions, I partner with you to build insight, confidence, and resilience.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to distress. CBT is one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches for treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and stress management. In my practice, I use CBT to help clients gain insight into the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we work to challenge negative thinking patterns, build healthier coping skills, and develop practical strategies for managing daily challenges. My goal is to empower clients to take an active role in their healing, strengthen emotional resilience, and achieve lasting positive change.
Motivational Interviewing
I incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a core part of my therapeutic approach to help clients strengthen their own motivation and commitment to change. With years of experience using MI across diverse populations, I have seen how this client-centered, collaborative method empowers individuals to explore and resolve ambivalence, fostering real and lasting growth. In my practice, I use MI to create a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected. Through active listening, empathy, and reflective dialogue, I help clients identify their personal values and goals, uncover internal motivation, and develop the confidence needed to make positive behavioral changes. Whether addressing mental health challenges, substance use, or lifestyle adjustments, MI serves as a foundation for building trust, self-awareness, and sustainable progress.
