Getting to know Ikra Ashrafi
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, especially when depression has not improved with past treatments. I enjoy working with adults who are searching for new hope, fresh strategies, and a provider who truly listens. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I want every client to feel heard, supported, and empowered in their journey toward healing.
I bring over eight years of experience in mental health care, having worked in settings such as inpatient psychiatric units, detox programs, and rehabilitation centers. These experiences have shaped my holistic perspective and ability to support individuals with complex needs. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC).
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment when working with me. I take time to listen to your story, understand your unique challenges, and explore what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. My approach is supportive but also practical. I work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs and goals. Many of the people I see have struggled with depression that hasn’t improved with previous treatments, and I specialize in helping clients find new paths forward. Above all, I want you to feel comfortable, respected, and hopeful as we work together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, I’ll take time to get to know you, your history, current symptoms, and what you’ve already tried in the past. From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management and ongoing follow-up appointments to track progress and make adjustments as needed. While I do not provide talk therapy, I believe therapy and medication often work best together. If you’re interested, I can connect you with one of the trusted therapists at Kenyatta Black Counseling (KBC) for additional support.

I had a really good experience with NP Ikra for severe, crippling anxiety and panic attacks. She was kind, patient, and actually listened to me without judging. She helped me find the right medication that made me feel 100% better and go back to living a normal life.
She came highly recommended and now I see why :)
