EMEM IBANGA, PMHNP

A holistic approach to mental health involves treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of a disease. This includes working to improve one's mind, body, & soul. Some techniques include: Mind----relaxation techniques, meditation, therapy Body----nutrition, exercise, health Soul-----healthy support systems, finding purpose, emotional peace ​

While providing prescription management of psychotropic medications, I also incorporating brief counseling sessions with each routine follow up visits to further enhance treatment outcomes. My goal is to help clients realize that a healthy mental health is within reach. DIAGNOSIS Diagnose a wide spectrum of mental health issues based on current DSM-5 standards & appropriate use of psychiatric assessment tools MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Initial evaluation of the patient's need for psychotropic medications, the provision of a prescription, and ongoing medical monitoring related to the patient's use of the psychotropic medication PSYCHOTHERAPY Blend elements from different approaches of therapy and tailor treatment according to each client's needs.
