Getting to know Fathia Abu Sheraiah
You may be holding it all together on the outside—but inside, you’re exhausted, anxious, or quietly unraveling. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by life, weighed down by expectations, or unsure where to turn. If you’re here, you’re already taking a brave first step. I work with people who are ready to feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, healing, and a life that feels more like yours again.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering medication management and therapy for children, teens, and adults. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, ADHD, and cultural stress. I speak English and Arabic, and I center empathy, evidence-based care, and cultural respect in every session.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to reach out, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do this by yourself. Healing can start with one safe, judgment-free conversation. I’m here to walk with you at your pace, with compassion and respect for your journey. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you.
As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, my goal is to help you become the best version of yourself. Since becoming a nurse in 2018, I have supported those from all walks of life and backgrounds facing challenges with mental health, trauma, and addiction. We all encounter struggles in life; my goal is to normalize healing and recovery as the expected outcome of these experiences. Through a skilled combination of supportive psychotherapy, coping skill development, and medication management, we can work together to bring out your personal strengths. If you’re ready to begin this journey toward wellness, I invite you to reach out and take the first step.
