Dorothy Akakem is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia with several years of experience working with individuals with mental health disease. I have strong clinical skills in Patient Assessment, Diagnoses, Medication Management, and Disease Prevention. I offer individualized treatment plans according to patient's needs. I treat my patients/clients with respect, dignity, and compassion while offering a stigma-free environment for patients to receive care, heal, and grow.
Dorothy specializes in caring for individuals with Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), mood disorder, Grief, intellectual disability, behavioral issues, and substance use disorders. I also understand that psychotherapy plays a significant role in patients treatment plans, and I use it as needed
My clients and I will work together to fashion out treatment modalities and goals that best suit each client’s needs and assist them in developing positive coping mechanisms. I am culturally sensitive, empathetic, and very particular about involving my clients in every step of their care because I believe this approach is synonymous with a good outcome.
