Hello there! Are you navigating a major life transition and feeling like your mind, body, and spirit are all trying to catch up? Maybe you’re in the thick of perimenopause, a divorce, a new job—or all three at once. Or maybe you're experiencing burn out? You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel tired, anxious, and are craving a deeper healing than just a simple prescription.
My practice is designed for adult women and children in New Jersey. I love to work with people who are ready to feel heard, supported, and treated as a whole person; promoting care that sees the full person, not just the symptoms.
I am passionate about working with people who are open to getting to know themselves better, or getting to know themselves at all, or again! If you’ve been dismissed or overlooked before, I want you to know that this space is different. Here, your process matters. Your story matters. And together, we’ll move toward something more grounded, more peaceful, and more you. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again or meet yourself for the first time, reach out—I’d love to support you!
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself lately? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Ivy League trained with experience in outpatient, acute stabilization and consult-liaison psychiatry. I work with adults and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, and other mental health challenges that come with stress, illness, or life transitions.
Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that you need to have everything figured out.
With advanced training in both Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University, along with over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma, and substance use disorders. I understand that symptoms rarely exist in isolation, which is why I take the time to understand the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms.
I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live.
Whether you're looking for therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, my approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. My goal is not only to help you feel better in the short term, but to help you build lasting insight, resilience, and confidence so that you can continue thriving long after our work together.
My name is Faith Ekpo, and I am Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents, young adults, older adults. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, overwhelmed, over-thinking, poor sleep or other life challenges, my goal is to help you feel more balanced, empowered, and equipped with the tools you need to thrive. My approach integrates medication management with psychotherapy and individualized therapeutic interventions to support each client’s unique needs and goals.

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 Psychiatrist in Bordentown, NJ
Searching for psychiatrists in Bordentown starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric nurse practitioners can also diagnose, prescribe, and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, or life transitions. If you are comparing a Bordentown psychiatrist with a therapist, review each person’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see which type of support matches what you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Bordentown, local psychiatry options may be more limited, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Bordentown, NJ, consider appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each profile can help you understand communication style, specialties, and what to expect before booking.
Psychiatric care in Bordentown can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before care begins. Headway helps you find mental health doctors in Bordentown, NJ, and nearby areas who match your preferences and accept your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioner profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are 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.
