My name is Oluwatoyin Omodaratan, PMHNP-BC, and I go by Toyin. I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 4 years of experience as a provider and more than 19 years rooted in psychiatric nursing.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My clinical experience spans a wide range of psychiatric conditions across the lifespan, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and individualized, ensuring that each client feels heard, supported, and actively involved in their treatment plan. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing, growth, and stability can occur.
