My passion in life is to help others with whatever difficulties they are facing, whether that be psychiatric troubles, ordinary life stressors or addictions.
I am a licensed Social Worker (LMSW) in Maryland and I graduated from Salisbury University. I have experience working with people of all ages, with different cultural backgrounds, and experiencing various mental health challenges. Much of my experience comes from working with adults recovering from addictions and I am very knowledgeable about different recovery programs. I have worked with youth (ages 5-17) from traditionally under-served communities and I have worked in hospital-based crisis-intervention services. I am happy to offer a safe space for people of all identities and I proudly identify myself as a 2SLGBTQIA+ ally.
I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT) such as analyzing cognitive distortions that are creating distress for my clients. I also am very enthusiastic about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) including the modalities of deep-breathing techniques and mindfulness/meditation to help my clients learn how to regulate their emotions.
I strongly believe in approaching life from the perspective of "one day at a time" and striving for acceptance of whatever life throws our way. My deep sense of empathy enables me to "put myself in another person's shoes" and thoroughly identify with my clients' struggles and difficult feelings they are experiencing.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner , I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practice, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their journey toward healing and wellness.
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 28 years of healthcare experience and 10 years in mental health, caring for individuals from diverse cultural, social, and economic backgrounds. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults ages 10 and up experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, psychosis, behavioral challenges, substance use concerns, life transitions, grief, stress, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress. My goal is to provide individualized, compassionate care that supports each person's unique journey toward healing and recovery.
My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, holistic, and evidence-based. I believe progress occurs when clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychoeducation, supportive therapy, and treatment planning to address each client's unique needs and goals.
I understand that reaching out can feel overwhelming, and you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. Healing is possible, growth is achievable, and positive change can begin with a single step. I would be honored to partner with you and invite you to schedule an appointment to begin your journey toward greater health, hope, and well-being.

I use coping skills such as deep breathing and exercise (especially walking) for recurrent anxious feelings. I try to inhale for about 5 seconds and exhale for 7 seconds- doing this technique helps my body shift toward a calmer state. I try to exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes- during exercise, I talk positively to myself (e.g. I can do it. I'm strong). Using motivation helps me achieve my goals and reduces my anxious feelings.
My name is Fadeke Oladeji, and I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, and I am board certified and licensed to provide mental health care across the lifespan. I have experience caring for populations with a wide range of mental health conditions in outpatient clinics, community mental health, substance use clinics, primary care, and telehealth settings. Prior to obtaining my nurse practitioner license, I worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, primary care, and mental health outpatient/inpatient settings.
As a PMHNP, I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, ADHD), medication management, patient education, and supportive care with evidence-based treatment.
I have a strong belief in treating individuals by considering biological, psychological, and social factors, partnering with patients on treatment plans that align with their goals. I'm committed to a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard and supported. I look forward to collaborating with patients to achieve great outcomes.

I create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and empowered, and we develop individualized treatment plans that promote resilience and recovery.
My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, helping clients build skills while addressing underlying factors. I integrate psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive therapy tailored to each client's goals. My specialties include anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related, and substance use disorders.

Whether you're facing a difficult season or seeking long-term growth, I'm committed to meeting you with compassion and individualized care. When you're ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey toward healing.
