Getting to know Florence Gitonga
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Top Notch Psychiatry, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health care to both children and adults. Our practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, with a focus on individualized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each patient.
I have experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and behavioral challenges in children and adolescents. For adult patients, I provide care for conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. My approach emphasizes collaboration with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure holistic and effective care.
At Top Notch Psychiatry, I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel empowered to participate actively in their treatment. I am committed to ongoing professional development and staying current with advances in psychiatric care to best serve my patients.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me involves a collaborative and compassionate approach to mental health care. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences. My practice is rooted in evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual's unique needs, ensuring personalized care. I value open communication and encourage active participation in the treatment process to empower clients on their journey to mental wellness. Additionally, I am committed to reducing stigma and promoting mental health awareness within the community.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In my practice, sessions begin with an initial assessment to understand the client's mental health history and current needs. We then develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medication management and elements of talk therapy/CBT/Motivational interviewing. Regular sessions involve check-ins, medication reviews, and therapeutic discussions. Progress is continuously monitored, with adjustments made as needed to ensure effective treatment. My approach is patient-centered, aiming to create a supportive environment for clients.
