I am Kate Okwesa, a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate care and creating a positive patient experience for everyone I serve. I strive to deliver holistic, evidence-based care and hold myself to the highest standards, taking into consideration all aspects of my patients’ health needs.
I provide care for a range of general mental health concerns, including anxiety and panic disorders, depression, ADD/ADHD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, acute stress disorder, antipsychotic management, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
At The Center for Mind and Mood, we believe in a patient-centered approach to mental health care. I take the time to listen to my patients and work collaboratively with them to develop treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I use motivational interviewing and supportive therapy to help patients explore their reasons for change.
