Genevieve Beharie
Hi, welcome to THE WELLTHY PROJECT. I'm a dual board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with nearly 14 years of clinical experience, and I applaud you for taking the first step toward prioritizing your mental health. I believe mental wellness is an ongoing project that evolves through different stages of life. As our circumstances, responsibilities, and identities change, so do our emotional and psychological needs. My role is to help you gain clarity, understand your symptoms, and develop a thoughtful, evidence-based treatment plan that supports your goals. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, and other common mental health challenges. I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages, whether symptoms are new, longstanding, or have become more difficult during a period of change. Within my general adult psychiatry practice, I have particular clinical interests in adult ADHD and executive functioning difficulties, as well as women's mental health, including PMDD, postpartum depression and anxiety, perimenopause, hormonally influenced mood symptoms, and later-in-life ADHD diagnosis. I also offer neurodivergent-affirming care, recognizing that every individual experiences and processes the world differently. My approach is respectful, individualized, and collaborative, creating a supportive environment where patients feel understood while receiving evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to their strengths, challenges, and goals. Medication management is much more than prescribing medication. It is a collaborative process that includes psychiatric evaluation, diagnostic clarification, patient education, ongoing monitoring, and thoughtful treatment adjustments over time. Because I value continuity of care, my practice is designed for individuals seeking an ongoing treatment relationship rather than a one-time medication consultation. Whether you're seeking answers for the first time, returning to treatment, or looking for a fresh perspective, I'd be happy to work together toward better mental health.
First session
During our first session, I take an informal yet structured approach. My priority is to begin building a genuine connection while gaining a thorough understanding of what brings you in, your symptoms, and your treatment goals. This time is about helping you to feel comfortable with me and the process, while ensuring I gather the information needed to develop a thoughtful, individualized treatment plan. We'll discuss your current concerns, relevant history, and begin exploring treatment options together. If medication is appropriate, we'll review your options and decide on the best next steps collaboratively. Just as importantly, I want you to feel seen, heard, and respected. My goal is for you to leave our first appointment with greater clarity, a plan moving forward, and confidence that you're supported throughout the process.
Strengths
I believe some of my greatest strengths as a provider are compassion, empathy, and genuine curiosity. While years of education and clinical experience have shaped my practice, my own life experiences have also deepened my understanding of how challenging it can be to navigate mental and emotional struggles. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood without judgment. My goal is to meet you where you are, provide thoughtful guidance, and partner with you to develop a treatment plan that feels both practical and personalized.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to invest in their mental health and actively participate in the treatment process. They may be looking for answers, seeking greater diagnostic clarity, or simply ready to make a meaningful change after trying to manage things on their own. I enjoy working with individuals who are curious, open to collaboration, and committed to the ongoing process of growth. Whether we're identifying the right diagnosis, optimizing medication, or developing practical strategies for everyday life, my goal is to partner with you in creating lasting, meaningful progress.
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
My primary focus is comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with treatment plans tailored to each individual's symptoms, goals, and clinical needs. Medication management is an ongoing partnership that includes diagnostic clarification, education, careful monitoring, and thoughtful treatment adjustments to support meaningful, long-term improvement. When clinically appropriate, I incorporate brief, evidence-based techniques from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) into medication management visits. These focused interventions are designed to strengthen coping skills, enhance motivation for change, improve insight, support healthy behavior change, and provide practical strategies that patients can apply between appointments. While therapeutic techniques are incorporated to complement psychiatric treatment, I do not provide therapy-only services. When additional psychotherapy would be beneficial, I encourage collaboration with a licensed therapist as part of a comprehensive, team-based approach to care.
