I'm Funmi Kwentua, a passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctoral degree, dedicated to supporting individuals aged 12 and above who grapple with chronic mental health challenges. My mission is to substantially enhance their quality of life through holistic, evidence-based care. In my practice, I prioritize fostering collaborative relationships with clients, striving to create personalized treatment plans that combine medication management and psychotherapy. My ultimate goal is to empower you to attain better mental health and a higher quality of life through compassionate and effective interventions grounded in evidence.
In the initial session with me, the focus is on building rapport, conducting a comprehensive assessment, discussing concerns and goals, providing psychoeducation, developing a treatment plan, addressing questions and concerns, and establishing follow-up appointments. This collaborative approach prioritizes the client's needs and preferences, aiming to develop a tailored treatment plan to support their mental health and well-being.
Having worked for several years in mental health, I am very client centered. Developing a rapport with my clients takes top priority.
I love working with diverse population. I take my time with my clients and will listen attentively.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals gain greater control over their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Through a collaborative approach, I empower my patients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Combined with medication management, this therapy fosters emotional regulation and enhances overall functioning.
