Verified patient

Dr. Praveen has completely changed my life for the better. I had been struggling for years with mental health issues and from the first day that I met with Dr. Praveen, you could see just how passionate and dedicated he is on providing the best care possible for his patients. I 10/10 highly recommend anyone to Dr. Praveen he actually listens and he is professional at all times! He is extremely knowledgeable and very good at what he does! Thank you Dr. Praveen!

About Praveen

I’m Praveen Bodakunta, an experienced Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Fife, WA. I have dedicated years to working as a Registered Nurse in acute psychiatric settings, helping both voluntary and ITA patients. As a United States Army Veteran, I bring a disciplined and compassionate approach to my practice.

Currently, I am nurturing future nurses as a Clinical Instructor at Tacoma Community College. My diverse experience includes adolescent psychiatry and I have honed my skills at Greater Lakes Mental Health Care. I'm trained in using advanced medical records systems and certified in a range of essential healthcare protocols, ensuring high-quality, comprehensive care for my patients. I look forward to helping you with understanding and attentive care.
