Getting to know Jibril Yakubu
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing virtual psychiatric care to adults located in Arizona. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and sleep concerns, with a focus on thoughtful diagnosis and practical, individualized treatment plans.
My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I take time to understand each person’s symptoms, history, and goals, and I believe effective care starts with listening. Treatment may include medication management, education, and coordination with therapy or other supports when appropriate.
I offer telepsychiatry appointments in a calm, confidential setting designed to be convenient and accessible. Patients can expect clear communication, evidence-based care, and a respectful, nonjudgmental experience.
I work with adults seeking help for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, emotional regulation, and related challenges. All visits are conducted virtually for patients who are physically located in Arizona at the time of the appointment.
Please note: I do not prescribe controlled substances as part of my practice.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients can expect a thoughtful, collaborative approach to care. I take time to listen, ask detailed questions, and understand the full context of each person’s symptoms, history, and goals before making treatment recommendations.
Appointments are focused, structured, and respectful of your time. My goal is to provide clear explanations, evidence-based recommendations, and a treatment plan that feels practical and realistic for your daily life.
Care may include medication management, education, and coordination with therapy or other supports when appropriate. I value open communication and encourage patients to ask questions and be actively involved in decisions about their care.
All visits are conducted virtually in a confidential, calm setting for adults physically located in Arizona at the time of the appointment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During appointments, I use evidence-based communication approaches such as motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral–informed strategies to support understanding, insight, and behavior change. These techniques help clarify goals, explore ambivalence, and identify practical steps that support treatment outcomes.
My role is primarily focused on psychiatric evaluation and medication management. While I do not provide formal psychotherapy, sessions often include structured discussion, psychoeducation, and skills-based guidance to help patients better understand symptoms, thought patterns, and emotional responses.
Treatment decisions are collaborative, and progress is reviewed regularly to ensure care remains aligned with the patient’s needs and goals. When appropriate, I coordinate care with therapists or recommend additional supports.
All visits are conducted via secure telehealth for adults who are physically located in Arizona at the time of the appointment.
