My name is Emily Gitau, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), working with adult patients across the state of Virginia. My expertise is in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and ADHD, using a combination of both medications and therapy when needed. My therapeutic approach is tailored on a patient’s needs. In addition to medication, I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Problem-Solving Therapy.
I learned early in my role as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner that I work well with the adult population, ages 18 and above. My expertise is in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
My journey to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner started while working as a Registered Nurse caring for individuals with medical and emotional concerns, and I realized that healing and wellness are my passions. To have always wanted to work and help people struggling with mental health, this sparked my interest to specialize in mental health.
