I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) licensed in WA, NY, NM, and AZ. With 18 years of dedicated experience in psychiatry, I bring a unique, deeply grounded perspective to your care. I’ve spent nearly two decades sitting with clients, listening to their stories, and watching what treatments truly work in real life.
Hello, I'm Dr. Aminu Mahmud, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My approach is patient-centered, collaborative, and focused on helping individuals achieve meaningful improvements in their mental health and quality of life.
Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.
I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated with dignity. My approach is holistic, recognizing that mental health is influenced by biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and lifestyle factors. I provide compassionate, evidence-based, and nonjudgmental care in a safe environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns. Together, we work to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports healing, resilience, and long-term wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lynnwood, WA
Searching for therapists in Lynnwood starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Lynnwood therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other methods that may fit your needs.
In a smaller city like Lynnwood, local appointment options may be more limited than in Seattle or Bellevue, so virtual therapy can help expand your search. You may prefer a therapist with an office near home, work, or nearby communities like Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, or Bothell. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can give you a clearer sense of each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Lynnwood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and see who is available for in-person or virtual sessions. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your location and benefits. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
