Getting to know Rukayya Busari

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) with over 17 years of nursing experience spanning emergency care, gastroenterology, school nursing, and private duty. Over the past six years as an FNP, I have worked in primary care, home care, retail health, and subacute rehab, providing comprehensive medical care to diverse patient populations. Recognizing the challenges my patients faced in accessing timely mental health care, I pursued additional training in psychiatry to better serve their needs. I earned my PMHNP certification from Regis College in 2024, completing pediatric, adult, and geriatric inpatient and outpatient rotations. My goal is to bridge the gap between primary care and mental health by offering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric treatment tailored to each patient. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and geriatric psychiatry, ensuring that adults and seniors receive the holistic care they deserve. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, empowering individuals to take control of their mental well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. Whether you need medication management, therapy, or a combination of both, I am here to guide you toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
