Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • San Francisco, CA
I’m a licensed therapist in San Francisco with over 15 years in private practice. I specialize in Eating disorders, body image and trauma and work primarily with adults who are exhausted by the cycle of restriction, compulsive eating, shame and self criticism and are ready for something to genuinely shift. My training includes, IFS, Somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT and Expressive Arts therapy, which means we will not only engage in supportive talk therapy, but also have real tools to work with. My clients often express that not only do they heal and find peace with food, disordered eating and body image, but they also become more able to feel and tolerate emotions and regulate moods, while building trust in their bodies and discover true hungers, desires and enhance creativity and vitality. This can lead to more ease and comfort in your own skin, with the potential of more meaningful work and healthy relationships.
I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment
Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.
I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.
Hi, and welcome! I am Joy Nnebe, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am thrilled you’re considering working with me.
I have 8 years of experience in psychiatric/mental health nursing, and I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, insomnia, trauma, and more, using approaches like CBT therapy and trauma-informed care. I aim to provide simple, non-judgmental, supportive, and personalized care to help you feel understood and empowered on your mental health journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, severe mental illness, behavioral modification, individual and family therapy, relational conflicts, crisis intervention, advocacy, social policy, clinical supervision and program development.
I believe in the immense power of our thoughts and our incredible capacity as human beings to change them through awareness, intention and implementation. Together we will work to create the life you want to live despite the hardships you have overcame and any future struggles that may lay ahead.
I believe life’s hardships and tragedies have strength and the power to empower with self awareness and guidance through the pain.
Let's find the words together. You may be carrying more than people realize, whether that's ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, or ongoing stress. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Certified Case Manager (CCM), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), with more than 15 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, case management, dialysis, and nephrology. That background helps me see the whole person, including how physical health, medical conditions, and life stressors affect your mental health.
I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive therapy, and objective ADHD testing for adults. I also welcome clients living with chronic kidney disease or receiving dialysis. Insurance coverage varies by plan.
