Nkechi Ezema, APRN

Nkechi Ezema, APRN

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
IA
Negative thought patterns can leave one feeling stuck and in a depressive state, with plans, goals, and visions unattainable due to the mental battle of self-doubt, isolation, and hopelessness. Did you know the longer one lasts in a chronic state of anxiety, the more dire the need for treatment becomes? Anxiety can result in emotional paralysis-a feeling of not being able to move due to multiple brain tabs open. How do we treat anxiety and other mood struggles? Research suggests talk therapy is the first-line treatment for negative mood episodes. However, medications may be an additional tool and can be an option for you. I have over 12 years of experience in mental health care. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington. I have worked in acute care hospital settings and have managed chronic and acute behavioral conditions. As a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring compassionate care, hope, clinical expertise, and knowledge to the clients I serve at Patterns Psychiatry. I am able to prescribe medication to treat a vast array of mental health struggles. I also offer effective psychoeducation and psychotherapy with each visit. At Patterns Psychiatry, we are connected to several therapists and can send you a referral to a therapist if needed. When we identify our patterns-sleeping, eating, thinking, behavior, daily, negative-we can begin to make the changes needed to promote mental fitness. This journey starts with connecting with a professional, empathetic, and honest provider who will listen to your story and offer guidance along your journey. Let's get started!
