My approach to care:

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, experiencing persistent worry or fear? Perhaps what began as a temporary period of uncertainty about your mental health has evolved into a prolonged state of concern. You may notice impacts on your relationships, work performance, and overall well-being. Daily tasks might feel overwhelming, and envisioning a path forward may seem challenging.

Together, we can explore your inherent strengths and develop strategies to help you overcome obstacles, enabling you to engage more fully in life. I believe in the potential for mental wellness and the brain’s capacity to adapt and heal under supportive guidance. With appropriate care, it’s possible to manage anxiety, depression, and mood regulation, fostering a sense of safety within yourself.

I’m Umu Benjamin, a Board-Certified Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) specializing in Psychiatry (PMHNP), with additional training in integrative, functional, and nutritional psychiatry. With over 21 years of clinical experience, including 6+ years of direct prescribing experience, I offer a comprehensive approach to mental health care. My expertise spans outpatient care for children and adults. I have experience in treating a range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD.
