About me
Hello and welcome! I'm Folasade R. Akinkuowo, your board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I'm deeply committed to forging meaningful relationships with my patients and their families, guiding you towards the most positive mental health outcomes.

My expertise lies in helping individuals, including adolescents and adults, to overcome the challenges of chronic mental health issues. I specialize in medication management and therapeutic support, focusing on treating mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, as well as ADHD. Additionally, I have extensive experience in addressing co-occurring conditions like insomnia and psychotic disorders.

I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a concentration in Psychiatric Mental Health from Herzing University. My qualifications are backed by up-to-date licensure and certifications that ensure I provide care that is both current and effective.

Communication is key in my practice—I collaborate closely with treatment teams and am proficient in a variety of therapeutic techniques suitable for all ages. My aim is to craft individualized care plans and provide psychotherapy that resonates with you personally, making sure you feel valued, understood, and in control of your health journey.

Currently serving at Tinka Health Services, I am proud to offer comprehensive care that addresses the full spectrum of your mental and physical health needs. With previous experience as a QIO Project Director at Comagine Health, I've refined my skills in quality improvement and building strong partnerships to improve healthcare services.

Your health and happiness are my utmost concerns. Let's work together towards a life that's not only healthier but also filled with peace and balance.
