Rashidat Akinsanya, PMHNP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
MD
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 3 years of experience and a board-certified adult nurse practitioner for over 10 years. I began my nursing career by graduating from the University of Maryland with my bachelor's degree, then attended Johns Hopkins University for my master's in nursing. I decided to further my education by attending Brandman University, where I obtained my Doctorate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing and psychiatric mental health certification in 2018. I focus on treating patients with a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorder. I offer virtual appointments because I believe tele-psychotherapy and medication management sessions have been shown to be as effective as in-person care. I work in collaboration with my patients to ensure the best possible outcomes in relieving suffering. It will be a pleasure to work with you to address any behavioral health needs.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
