Veenu Thakur, NP In 2014, I graduated from university of Cincinnati with Master of Science in Nursing and became adult-geri primary care nurse practitioner. Prior to this I was working as an RN in psychiatry. I have also worked with PACE: Program of all inclusive care for the elderly and Medoptions Behavioral Health. I believe in the force of the gravity going downwards. Similarly, what goes on in our minds travels downwards to our body causing multiple illnesses such as headache, insomnia, chronic pain, digestive issues. Hence, it is very important that we first take care of our mental wellbeing.

I work with individuals navigating mood, anxiety, or trauma-related concerns who value a thoughtful, individualized approach. I offer psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, or a combination of both to address persistent symptoms and recurring challenges. I especially enjoy working with those seeking greater meaning through insight-oriented therapy. Understanding the “why” is an essential step toward improvement, but real change comes from using that insight to achieve lasting, desirable growth.
