My name is Vivan Akabueze, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified. I believe in patient-centered care, focusing on my patient's history, strengths, values, beliefs, and so on, not just to inform decisions on their diagnosis and treatment but to help and guide them to live the life they hope to. I believe in a patient-centered empathetic approach to communication style, utilizing active listening, asking questions that encourage detailed responses, and allowing my patients to explain their thoughts and feelings properly.
I believe in a non-judgmental attitude; I address my patients by their preferred names and respect their boundaries. I consider cultural differences, adapt to my patients' level of understanding, and establish a trusting relationship with my patients. In essence, I connect with my patients on all ramifications.
I chose to become a mental health provider because of my compassion and desire to help others, make a positive impact in their lives by addressing their mental health concern, contribute to reducing stigma, and promote greater awareness about mental health issues. Seeing positive changes in my clients' lives is deeply rewarding.
