What should a new client know about working with you?
As a safe, dynamic, experienced psychiatric Nurse Practitioner( CRNP) , I aim to empower individuals through mental health awareness and promote healthy minds. I am compassionate about my patients' needs and follow through on their treatment plans. I work with individuals holistically, hoping that the solution will be individualized and the outcome will be exceptional. I work in a result-oriented organization where I can teach and empower my clients. At the same time, I gain insight, strengthening my skills and capabilities with every effort to improve my patients' quality of care and life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
On the first encounter, the client will provide information about their history, including the need for a psychiatrist. The provider will offer a comfortable, nonjudgmental interaction so that the client can express themselves openly. The client will have the opportunity to ask any questions during the session.

Dr. Chinenye has a warm & friendly manner, which makes me feel relaxed, therefore it is easy to converse with her. I have had several check-up calls with her, which I have found to be more than satisfactory, for two reasons; 1.) She is thorough - She asks questions about how I am doing with my medications. I know that this is her job, but she lets me discuss what is going on in detail without stopping me, which allows my thought processes be complete, so that she has the full, accurate picture of what is happening with me. 2.) She is also gracious in her speech, as in, she gives me encouragement on every check in call. I have been able to talk to Dr. Chinenye openly, about some concerning issues in my life, if only for a brief moment but that has made a positive difference. In the past, I have found some psychiatrists to be overly clinical, and a bit lacking in bedside manner, but this is not the case with Dr. Chinenye.

My visit was genuinely a great experience. She was incredibly easy to talk to, very welcoming, and asked thoughtful questions that made me feel truly heard. When discussing my ADHD concerns, she listened carefully, answered everything clearly, and made the assessment process feel natural and comfortable. We even shared a few laughs, which helped put me at ease. Her approach was professional yet warm, almost as if I’d spoken with her before. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an assessment or treatment—she creates an environment where you feel supported, understood, and confident in the care you’re receiving.

She is also so caring and actually listens and understands my issues like I’m not alone in situations. Knowing medication helps but doesn’t fix everything allows understanding to keep working to become more mentally stable.

She helped both my daughter and I. She’s very personable, patient, compassionate, and understanding. I highly recommend her for all your mental health needs.

I’ve been with All Time Psychiatry (ATP) for a few years and they are truly exceptional and consistently deliver top-quality service and exceed expectations. Everyone is truly professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. I would confidently recommend ATP to anyone seeking first-class service.

I have been a patient with this practice for 15 months now. I am very satisfied with the secretary Ms. Pauline and with the doctor. Both listen and handle whatever need I am facing in a very professional and timely manner.

She listens and provides medication that helps.

Everyone at All Time Psychiatry goes above and beyond. Pauline is ALWAYS on top of communication and tries her best to accommodate my schedule.
Dr. Akpuaka is very patient and takes the time to get to know me as an individual so she can ensure she meets all my needs. She also communicated after my appointments to follow up which I appreciate so much because I often forget when I have medication to pick up. My experience here has been nothing but the best.
Less than 6 months agoLB
She’s very kind in the way she speaks and she listens and hears how things are going with your process and progress in dealing with mental health like anxiety and depression. At the same time it’s to the point and equally understood that if things are going well then theres No need to fix what’s not broken in terms of what treatment is being provided. She has been a pleasure to have since I moved back to Maryland and I am grateful.

She is very kind and courteous. She always asks how I’m doing and how my month/week/day has been at the same time quick and to the point. It’s a very perfect balance and well understood care.
Less than 1 year agoTS
Whenever I talk to someone they’re responsive, but not very attentive. I’d say do all the research for yourself and how medication would possibly affect you. Seems like they go down a list of meds for your condition and just do trial and error with you until you’re on the brink of psychosis.
Less than 1 year agoRG
Excellent provider! Listens, understands, and helps you to create a plan that WORKS! Thank you! ?? I’ve had bad experiences so it’s refreshing to see people who truly care and want to assist.
