I’m Kouhede Sossou, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Purdue Global University. My nursing background includes behavioral health, correctional healthcare, trauma, and acute care, where I learned the importance of understanding the person beyond their symptoms.

Originally from Togo and fluent in English and French, I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and respect the role of culture, family, and personal experiences in mental health.

Hi! My name is Keyonda Dean, but my friends call me Keyandra. I'm really glad you're here. You may have been feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected for a while now. Maybe you have lost interest in things that used to matter, or you wake up already exhausted. Perhaps you have been running on empty for so long that it's starting to feel normal. Some days, it's hard to explain what is wrong, but you are still showing up, still getting through your to-do list. But something feels off. It's not just "stress," and you aren't being dramatic. What you are feeling is real, and you deserve support that actually helps. I work with patients across a wide range of mental health experiences - whether you are dealing with anxiety and depression, mood disorder, ADHD, or navigating something that feels new and hard to name
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in holistic treatment that addresses both the mind and body, and I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.
You should know:
- I listen first. Your story and your experience matter most.
- Collaboration is key. We’ll work together to find the right treatment plan—whether that includes medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle adjustments, or all of the above.
- I respect your pace. Healing is not a race. I'm here for you, whether you're taking small steps or big ones.
- Your identity matters. I provide inclusive care for people of all backgrounds, genders, and neurodiverse identities.
Above all, I want you to feel empowered in your mental health journey.
Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.
Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.
I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.
I’m Fatoumata Diallo, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing care to individuals ages 18 through older adulthood across Texas. My work is rooted in empathy, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and mood disorders, with a particular passion for supporting clients through life transitions, trauma recovery, and emotional overwhelm. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, transparent, and empowering.
My approach blends medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation, always tailored to your unique goals and strengths. To enhance continuity and access, my practice also offers membership services that provide ongoing support between visits.
My mission is to help you feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more in control of your mental health journey.

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 Austin
Finding the right psychiatrist in Austin starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare Austin psych options, look for training, listed specialties, and care focus that match what you want help with.
Austin has many mental health options across neighborhoods like South Congress, Mueller, Zilker, and North Austin, which can make narrowing your search take more effort. In-person visits may work well if you want an office nearby, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier around work, school, or commute time. Psychiatric care also often follows a different cadence than therapy. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each bio for appointment availability, communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists in Austin who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare profiles, review specialties, and choose between virtual and in-person care, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
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.
