I'm Stephanie Patrick-Calvillo, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should be accessible, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. Over the past 15+ years, I've worked with diverse populations—from adolescents facing their first mental health crisis to adults navigating complex psychiatric conditions, and seniors experiencing cognitive and emotional challenges.
My practice is grounded in the belief that effective treatment goes beyond symptom management. I take time to understand your unique story, your strengths, and the factors that shape your mental health. Whether you're dealing with a new diagnosis or have been managing symptoms for years, I meet you where you are with respect and without judgment.
I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, substance use concerns, and behavioral issues related to dementia. I've completed advanced certification training because I'm committed to staying current with evidence-based treatments—ensuring you receive care that reflects the latest research.
Beyond clinical work, I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of healthcare providers. I've mentored nursing and nurse practitioner students from multiple universities, which keeps me grounded and reminds me why this work matters.
When you work with me, you're getting someone who genuinely cares, who's seen mental health challenges from many angles, and who believes deeply in your capacity for healing and growth.
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.
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.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping people feel like themselves again. I provide compassionate, evidence based care for anxiety and depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions.My goal is to create a judgement free space where patients feel heard and receive personalized treatment that fits their lives
I provide a space rooted in safety, deep listening, and compassion. Healing is a sacred journey—a process of growing insight, clarity, and wisdom while reclaiming wholeness and transforming pain into purpose. Together, we can explore the paths that lead to a satisfying life filled with peace, joy, and mastery.
