Dr. Pius Awandem Tanyifor
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, APRN, PMHNP, CNPAs a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have provided mental health psychotherapy and psychopharmacology to manage clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, BPD, Schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and patients with substance use disorder. It does not matter how long you have suffered from SUD; recovery is possible.
At Brightstar Behavioral Health Services LLC, I understand that seeking help for your mental health can feel daunting and overwhelming. Every human is different and needs a tailored treatment plan. My approach utilizes motivational interviewing and diagnostic approaches following DSM-5 guidelines to provide precise, effective treatment.
During a medication management session, we conduct a full assessment of your mental health, review medication options, discuss effectiveness, and address potential side effects. Adjustments to the medication plan are always based on evidence-based practices to ensure your safety and well-being.
Treating mental health requires building a therapeutic relationship with you and working as a team to provide healing. One part of my holistic care is active listening, maintaining a non-judgmental atmosphere, and educating clients about medications. I encourage open communication to address concerns that align with the treatment plan.
