I am Funmi Odubiyi, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specializing in adults with behavioral health needs. I have experience with mood and anxiety disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, and PTSD. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Chamberlain University, Illinois, in 2022 and hold an Advanced Certificate in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Hunter College, CUNY. I have devoted 25 years to nursing, starting as a Registered Nurse in 2001, with specialties in client education, safety, and conflict resolution.
I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship through empathy, active listening, and validation. As a PMHNP-BC, I adopt a person-centered approach, meeting you where you are, to address and manage your symptoms. Your progress and comfort are essential in our collaborative journey. I emphasize patience and respect for patients and their struggles.
Are you struggling with ADHD, ADD, mood, or anxiety disorders? With decades of experience, I know connecting with patients personally is key. I understand how you are feeling with these symptoms. I’m here to help you transition to a better life in the community, function well, and overcome the stigma that can contribute to treatment failure.
""Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams, healing can begin.”"
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I became NP to advocates for mental illness patients to get access to health care. I understand that living with mental health challenges can feel overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with the weight of persistent anxiety, the exhaustion of depression, the unpredictability of mood swings, or the constant distraction of ADHD, we’re here to help.
