Chinasa Oriaku is a certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing in the state of Wyoming for Rula Psychiatric Services. Chinasa has about 30 years of combined experience as a Nurse Practitioner and as a Registered Nurse. She practices at the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center. My approach to treatment is based on the needs of each patient I work with. Treatment is based on an individualized treatment plan. I most frequently use medication management and therapy, which helps to educate the patients.
I use the basic communication styles during sessions example, active listening, writing, speaking calmly, and understanding their specific body language. I respond to my patients by answering every question they have.
I have been a nurse for 30 years and a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for the past 3 years. I have practiced in Med/Surg, Skilled nursing facilities, home health, and psychiatric units, but I know I have more compassion for psychiatric and mental heath patients.
