Grace Chikezie, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
MD
Hi there, I'm Grace! I am a licensed, board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I manage mental health conditions using a holistic approach, which involves treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. This is in consideration of the interconnection of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. My focus I typically work with patients who have depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, bipolar disorder, and those who need medication management. My approach I integrate multiple approaches to provide comprehensive treatment. The most common methods I use are client-centered, cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and existential therapy to address your psychological, biological, and social well-being. My communication style My sessions are private and confidential, creating a space where you feel physically at ease with no distractions. I use active listening, empathy, and open-ended questions to encourage you to express yourself freely. Together, we build rapport, establish trust, set goals, and work to empower and motivate you. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began when I constantly encountered patients with physical conditions who had underlying, undiagnosed mental health needs. I felt the great need for more providers to meet the mental health needs of the community. My goals for you Treatment goals with my clients are both short-term and long-term and require your participation for effective goal setting. I use the SMART approach: goals must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Our first session During our first session, I'll ask about your reasons for seeking treatment, personal history, mental health history, family history, any traumas or stressors, and your goals for treatment. This information gives me an in-depth understanding and helps with effective treatment and management.
