Smink Achila, APRN, NP

Smink Achila, APRN, NP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
AZ
I am a licensed nurse practitioner in various states. I have at least 17 years of experience in the mental health field. My primary focus is to restore the balance in patients' mental health in order to regain functionality in various settings. I love what I do. I utilize a holistic approach to provide care. Individuals with behavioral health conditions deserve to be supported by professionals whom they know they can trust in addressing their situation. What better than those who are passionate about what they do and offer services with the philosophy of compassion and collaboration. These are what I stand for. Client participation and commitment are half of what makes treatment successful, and thus, I believe that when they are involved in the entire process, they are more likely to commit to their sessions. I also utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a primary focus on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with a goal of identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional regulation and coping. The techniques that I utilize include thought records, behavioral experiments, and cognitive restructuring. As a psychiatric mental health practitioner, I typically work with individuals across the lifespan who are experiencing a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. I am most comfortable treating patients in telehealth settings, focusing on medication management, crisis intervention, and supportive psychotherapy. My approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, patient-centered communication, and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams to ensure holistic and effective treatment.
