Hi, my name is Chika Achebe. I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 18 years of experience in the field of psychiatry. I completed my psychiatric nurse practitioner program at University of Kansas in Kansas City Kansas. I have a wealth of experience caring for and catering to psychiatric patients of all age groups within outpatient/inpatient settings.
I do psychiatric evaluation, medication management and brief psychotherapy. I employ the benefits of genetic testing, which utilizes a science-based approach to individualize patient treatment. I also do psychiatric evaluation and medication management through tele-psychiatry.
I am compassionate, dedicated and a caring psychiatric nurse practitioner. Listening and patience are my strong virtues. I form a collaborative interdisciplinary relationship with my patients and the other members of their health care team to manage both psychiatric and physical illnesses. I do my best to ensure that my patients are uniquely served.
