Getting to know Dr. Lynda Jifon Agbasi
Lynda Agbasi, PMHNP, FNP, DNP
As a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner, I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with mood and psychotic disorders. I earned my Doctor of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from UMass Global, my Master’s in Family Health Nursing from South University, and my Bachelor’s degree from Gannon University. My approach is rooted in integrated care, combining evidence-based psychiatric treatment with a holistic understanding of each patient's needs. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or other mental health challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care to support your journey toward stability and wellness.
I’m part of Resolute, a practice offering high-quality, insurance-covered therapy and psychiatry, with comprehensive support to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for our clients. For additional help, reach out to the Resolute support team. I look forward to meeting you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I take a collaborative approach to psychiatric care, believing that medication is just one piece of the puzzle. I actively engage with patients, listen intently, and work as a team to target disruptive symptoms. My treatment plans are evidence-based yet personalized, integrating medication management with holistic strategies to support long-term well-being.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A successful treatment session with me is one where the patient feels heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their mental health journey. It typically includes:
1. A Safe and Open Dialogue - The patient feels comfortable discussing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I listen intently, ensuring they feel validated while providing insights that help them gain clarity.
2. Symptom-Focused Approach - We work together to identify the most disruptive symptoms affecting their daily life and well-being. I help them connect patterns in their mood, behavior, and environment to better understand their condition.
3. Personalized Medication and Treatment Adjustments - If medication is part of the plan, we review its effectiveness, side effects, and any necessary adjustments. I ensure that medication is working as a tool, not a crutch, and discuss complementary strategies for self-improvement.
4. Patient Engagement and Self-Work - I encourage patients to actively participate in their treatment, whether it's through lifestyle changes, therapy, journaling, mindfulness, or setting small, achievable goals. My role is to guide, educate, and support rather than dictate.
5. A Plan for Progress - Each session ends with a clear path forward. Patients leave with practical steps to implement between sessions, whether it's refining coping skills, tracking symptoms, or working on mindset shifts that contribute to long-term wellness. Success isn't just about reducing symptoms- it's about helping my patients feel more in control, resilient, and hopeful about their future.
