My website

I’m Amaka Iheaka, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, stress, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand your concerns, explain treatment options clearly, and develop a personalized treatment plan with you. I believe your voice, needs, and goals should guide your care.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate your mental health journey alone. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I am committed to providing a supportive space where you feel heard and understood. When you’re ready, I look forward to working with you toward better mental health and overall well-being.
