Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Psychiatrists in King County, WA

Hi. The mind is very similar to our physical bodies; symptoms develop to let us know that something is amiss. Environments, stress, and trauma influence these symptoms. As our physical bodies seek to heal themselves, so does our minds. Difficulties can be looked at as opportunities for growth. I seek to come alongside and work together to help the healing and growth through therapy and if need be medication. Medication is not sufficient alone. Just as the physical body seeks to heal itself when hurt, so the mind/soul with encouragement can heal.

I believe in the willpower of every man. We can tap into our potential only if we believe and work diligently. This is where I come in. I will listen attentively and work with you and your loved ones/caregivers collaboratively to ensure you tap into your potential and live a healthier and more meaningful life. When I am not working, I love to spend time with my family and cooking. I also love playing and watching soccer. I have embraced the NFL and enjoy watching my team (I will not disclose for now) take care of business. This journey is not yours alone to walk. We are all in this together!

I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with both my Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing.

I will make it my priority to help you feel comfortable while performing thorough assessments to better diagnose and develop a treatment plan. I believe in a holistic approach to maximize wellbeing and to help you attain the best results.

With a rich background in mental health, I bring a unique blend of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, addiction specialist, and educator in psychology. However, at the heart of my practice, I am a dedicated psychotherapist. My journey in medicine, culminating in my board certification in Psychiatry in Washington State in 2017, has always been driven by a passion for understanding and nurturing the human psyche. While I am equipped to prescribe medication when it supports treatment, my primary focus is on delivering comprehensive psychodynamic psychotherapy for optimal patient care.

Greetings, I am Bernard Mwangi, a seasoned nurse practitioner driven by a profound commitment to guiding individuals along their mental health journeys. With a wealth of experience, I specialize in conducting comprehensive evaluations, adeptly identifying mental health hurdles, and tailoring personalized treatment plans for each unique client. My approach is founded on empathy, understanding, and a dedication to fostering a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and supported. I believe in the power of compassionate listening, recognizing that every individual's story is unique and deserving of respect.

I believe mental health results from a complex constellation of past and present interpersonal, intrapersonal, and bio-physiologic influence. My approach is toward narrative and understanding within a safe, dyadic relationship. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and judicious prescribing in a small, referral-based psychiatric private practice. I concurrently maintain a clinical faculty appointment at the University of Washington, am a clinical associate at the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and work as an attending psychiatrist at Overlake Medical Center.

I'm passionate about the importance of people having easy access to mental healthcare. Before joining the healthcare field, I taught in low-income and underserved communities. Seeing the impact that a lack of mental healthcare had in these areas drove me to return to school and begin a career focused on providing that much-needed care. In my eyes, treatment can significantly increase the quality of life both mentally as well as physically.

I am a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and have been a registered nurse for over 20 years, helping families cope with change, from childbirth to end-of-life. I provide life coaching for managing life transitions and relationship challenges. I've treated patients with a wide variety of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, personality disorder, insomnia and other common psychiatric diagnoses. In addition to prescribing medications when necessary, my focus with psychotherapy is to assist people with achieving their goals.

My work focuses on helping patients enhance and improve effective functioning and satisfaction in their relationship with themselves and others; at home, work and community. I am flexible in my approach, and let the circumstances and reality of the patient shape our work together. I can prescribe medications when appropriate for my psychotherapy patients, but my primary focus is psychotherapy. I am not available for medication management only. I prefer in person sessions but depending upon circumstances, will consider online or a hybrid of both.

I am a psychiatrist who specializes in integrated psychiatric treatment that combines biological, social, cultural and psychological perspectives. My practice draws upon various evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches, and utilizes psychiatric medications if appropriate. I strongly believe that each person has a natural tendency to grow and realize her/his potential, but this process is frequently impeded for a variety of reasons. We will work together to identify those obstacles and to explore and articulate the feelings, thoughts and attitudes that are often not fully recognized. This is a collaborative, shared effort in a professional setting that is safe, open and supportive.

I take a collaborative approach with my patients. I like to know what my patients’ goals are so I can tailor the treatment to help them achieve their goals as much as possible. Knowing what’s important to my patients helps me know what treatments to recommend or when to suggest a change to the treatment. I find that patients experience the most success if they are open to talking about their treatment options.
