Oluseyi Agbaje

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


As a Psychiatrist mental health nurse practitioner with over 22 years in nursing practice, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and psychiatric care. I have been trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using the latest research and clinical guidelines. Your treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, would be based on my professional expertise and designed to address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your patient's well-being.

My identity as a spirit-filled Christian means that my faith is a core part of who I am. My faith often includes a belief in the power of prayer, spiritual guidance, and a holistic view of health that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. This translates into a deep sense of empathy and a non-judgmental approach, seeing each person as a valuable individual created in God's image.
