I'm Sherri Crespin, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in complex mental health conditions in adults. With dual board certifications from the American Nurses Credentialing Center as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring a comprehensive understanding of how mental and physical health intersect to create truly holistic care.

Olajumoke Adeyemi, NP, is a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Long beach, California. I specialize in maternal mental health and am dual board-certified in Family Practice and Psychiatry. This combined background allows me to understand both the medical and emotional complexities that can arise during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the transition into motherhood.
I support women experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, mood changes, intrusive thoughts, irritability, emotional overwhelm, and sleep disruption. My approach is compassionate, individualized, and centered on helping you feel more emotionally grounded and supported during this important stage of life.
If you’re reading this and quietly wondering, “Why does this feel so much harder than I thought it would?” — you are not alone.
Motherhood can be beautiful and deeply meaningful, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, exhausting, and heavy. You can love your baby fiercely and still feel anxious, tearful, irritable, depleted, or simply unlike yourself.
Struggling does not mean you are failing as a mother. Sometimes, it means you need a space where your well-being matters, too.
You deserve compassionate care that recognizes you as a whole person—not only as a mother. With appropriate support and treatment, it is possible to feel more like yourself again and experience motherhood with greater confidence, stability, and connection.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Berkeley
Finding psychiatrists in Berkeley starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, medical doctors, and doctors of osteopathic medicine can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see how they match your needs.
Berkeley has a smaller local market than nearby cities like Oakland and San Francisco, so virtual psychiatry can expand the number of options that fit your schedule and preferences. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can also help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first visit.
Psychiatric care in Berkeley can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and other licensed prescribers who accept your insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer in-person or virtual appointments, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
