“Dr. Oluwatoyin Sowunmi made my experience very pleasant. Was easy to get a video appointment. Was very patient with me when i couldn’t figure it out lol definitely would recommend”
Shyla W.May 5, 2026Video visit
“I am so, so appreciative of the care and attention Oluwatoyin provided me while I was in a pinch. She was able to see me same day and worked tirelessly for 24 hours back and forth with various pharmacies to get me an emergency dose of my medication while traveling. She was so responsive and her assistant was extremely attentive and helpful as well. She was a fantastic listener and it was really clear to me how much she cares about her patients and their well being by the way she goes above and beyond to ensure they have the assistance they need and more no matter what it takes. ”

Getting to know Dr. Oluwatoyin Sowunmi
Dr. Oluwatoyin Sowunmi is a DNP and board-certified family psychiatric & mental health nurse practitioner. She practices at Bridge Health and offers the convenience of virtual consultations.
Dr. Sowunmi provides compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to patients of all ages. With over 15 years of nursing and mental health experience, she specializes in supporting individuals experiencing various mental disorders.
Ms. Sowunmi graduated from Walden University with a master's degree in the field of family psychiatric and mental health nursing. Her practice philosophy centers on a holistic and integrative approach that combines therapy, medication management, and individualized care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My style of care is collaborative, compassionate, and patient centered. I believe that therapy works best when you feel safe, respected, and truly heard, so I strive to create an environment where you can share openly without fear of judgment.
During our sessions, I take time to understand your unique experiences, values, and goals. My approach is integrative I may use therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, depending on what best supports your needs. I also draw from evidence based practices while tailoring care to you as an individual, not just a diagnosis.
You can expect me to listen closely, offer guidance, and work with you to develop a plan that feels realistic and meaningful. Together, we’ll focus not only on relieving symptoms but also on building skills and resilience to help you navigate challenges and move toward lasting healing and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During your first session, I’ll begin by getting to know you and your story. We’ll talk about what brought you in, your current concerns, your medical and mental health history, and your goals for care. I approach this as a conversation, not an interrogation you set the pace, and I make sure you feel comfortable as we explore your needs. This initial visit also includes a diagnostic evaluation, which helps me understand the full picture and guides the best treatment options for you.
In follow-up sessions, we’ll review how you’ve been doing, discuss progress or challenges, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Depending on your needs, our work together may include talk therapy, medication management, or a combination of both. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in decisions about your care. Each session is an opportunity to check in, gain clarity, and build the tools that will help you move toward healing and balance

This was my third appointment & a change is already noticed. My first initial visit, I was in a very dark space, struggling to even communicate, but she truly sat with me through the tears & encouraged me to take the true step towards managing a newly, personally scary, diagnosis..by the third appointment, I’ve been feeling like I really do have someone on my side, trying to help me & seeing the progress. It means a lot when your provider sees a positive change, & genuinely tells you how proud they are & bringing a smile to both faces.
April 28, 2026Naudia B.Verified patientVideo visit
She is is very attentive. She listens to all my concerns and takes my thoughts into consideration. She makes sure I am comfortable with my treatment plan and gives me very direct honest feedback.
April 23, 2026Paislee R.Verified patientVideo visit
First time taking care of my mental health hasn’t been easier! I’ve contacted a couple of different offices and communication was always so bad. So far with Dr. Oluwatoyin I’ve had nothing but luck. So far it seems I finally have a mental health plan finally in order after almost 30 years of life. Definitely recommend Dr. Oluwatoyin if you’re taking your first steps with your mental health
April 23, 2026George O.Verified patientVideo visit
Love Dr.Olu! She is always so attentive to me and my concerns, and very responsive even in between my appointments. She is easy to talk to almost like a big sister, and goes above and beyond to make sure I have every resource possible available to me. 10/10 recommend!

Hello, I recently discovered that I likely had ADHD, and set an appointment with Oluwatoyin Sowunmi, DNP, NP immediately. My initial nervousness was calmed by the provider's receptive attitude towards my concerns. So far, I am satisfied with my care and am looking forward to our check in within 2 weeks' time. Hope this helps!

Less than 1 month agoKiara W.Verified patientVideo visit
From the moment I arrived, Dr. Sowunmi, made me feel genuinely welcome and at ease. She was incredibly encouraging and truly spoke life into me during a time when I needed it most. What stood out was not just her ability to listen, but how thoughtfully she responded offering meaningful feedback and reassurance. Navigating trauma and grief is never easy, and many of us simply want to feel heard and supported. She did exactly that. Overall, it was a truly positive and uplifting experience.
Thanks Dr. Sowunmi

I’m someone with little patience and high irritation when I’m unmedicated, but Ms. Toyin was so patient with me. She made me feel welcomed and showed me she was dedicated to helping me even though I resisted. I’m thankful for her. The medicine she has prescribed works so far, and she is really taking precautions as she prescribes them.

Doctor was attentive and listened to my concerns. She was able to explain testing results and informed me of optional therapy methods
March 29, 2026Diane W.Verified patientVideo visit
I would’ve liked to have given a good review but I’m going on over an hour waiting for this provider to join a session that she set up less than 28 hours ago which made it impossible to cancel. Now I’m sitting and waiting for no one while I have a little panic attack by myself. I’m sure this was all unintentional and purely by mistake but it’s just so unprofessional. And wasteful of my time
March 13, 2026Initials hiddenVideo visit
I would definitely recommend.
March 6, 2026Mofiyinfoluwa O.Verified patientVideo visit
I had a really positive experience with Dr. Oluwatoyin Sowunmi. She is incredibly caring, kind, and easy to talk to. From the very beginning she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to my concerns. She’s also very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things clearly, which helped me better understand my options and what to expect. I never felt rushed during my appointment, and I appreciated how informative and supportive she was throughout the process. I’m really glad I found her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and compassionate psychiatrist.
