Leah Tanui, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
PA
Hi there, I'm Leah! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in Delaware and Pennsylvania. My approach to mental healthcare is a holistic approach that uses both conventional and complementary therapies with collaborative care in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Every individual is different. My focus I mostly work with patients who have ADHD, GAD, MDD, psychotic illnesses, mood disorders, OCD, and PTSD. My approach I use Biopsychosocial and Disease/medical/biological models, where mental illness is determined by the relationship between biological, psychological, and social factors. Mental illness is also due to changes in the brain. My communication style I am calm and very approachable. I easily establish rapport with patients, and patience is key. I do more listening than talking. My journey to mental healthcare I have been an RN for over 18 years and have held many professional positions, from floor nurse to management, such as Director of Nursing. I have always been interested in mental health, and after much thought, I decided to pursue a graduate degree specializing in psychiatry. My goals for you We collaboratively discuss the problems that need to be addressed, establish attainable goals together, and always have a timeline. Our first session Introduction of self, reinforce privacy and confidentiality. An in-depth/comprehensive history taking, including both mental and physical history. We will discuss medications if needed, psychotherapy if needed, referrals if needed, and follow-up appointments. Safety is paramount.
