Doris Elonu, APRN, RN, NP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
GA
I am a board-certified psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My main role is medication management and supportive therapy. I am a compassionate and considerate mental health provider. My approach is holistic, rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health. I also provide supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and coping strategies. The goal is to meet people where they are and walk with them to where they need to be-every progress counts. I typically work with adults ages 18 -65 who suffer from common mental health problems like anxiety and depressive disorders, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and Adjustment disorders, to name a few. I maintain a therapeutic environment, serene, filled, free of judgment and bias. I partner with my patients, using evidence-based practice to determine treatment goals and interventions. I have noticed that patients feel comfortable speaking with me in such a calm and accepting environment. I was an active duty Airman of the United States Air Force when I first realized my passion for mental healthcare. I then returned to school and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. As a registered nurse and a veteran, I recognized the gap in mental health within my community and had to take that extra step to bridge the gap. One more time, I returned to school for a Master of Science in Nursing degree at Maryville University, St. Louis, MO. Since becoming a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I have encountered countless opportunities to serve individual and their families as they go through difficult times, mentally, and I'm always grateful to help. My first session is mostly assessments, establishing therapeutic rapport, collecting data, and general instructions. I encourage questions, even if they seem simple or too difficult to explain.
