For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Hello! I'm Caroline Nwaro, a dedicated and experienced Nurse Practitioner based in Nanuet, New York. With a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and a Master's in Public Health, my goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to my patients. Over the past several years, I've worked in various healthcare settings, including programs for unaccompanied children and care for the homeless. My work often involves using telehealth technologies to ensure that everyone receives timely and effective medical attention. I'm also skilled in creating tailored health care plans, administering vaccinations, and conducting vital health screenings. In my role as the Director of Health Services at Cayuga Family Centers, I cared for both adults and children. This included everything from recording medical histories and developing care plans to prescribing medications and performing necessary procedures. Teaching is another passion of mine. As a Clinical Adjunct Instructor, I have helped train the next generation of healthcare professionals by guiding students through their learning journeys and helping develop innovative curricula. Overall, my mission is to ensure the well-being of my patients by providing high-quality medical care, supporting their health journeys, and fostering a community of wellness. *Specialties •Weight Loss •Pediatrics •Pain Management •Mental Health •Gynecology •Internal Medicine •Adolescent Medicine •Obstetrics & Gynecology •Nursing •Endocrinology •General Practice •Family Medicine *Conditions treated •Weight loss •Obesity •Overweight •Life style change •Metabolic disorders •Thyroid disorders •Annual check-up •Routine health maintenance •Fever •Ear infection •Vaccinations •Asthma •Diarrhea •Common cold •Skin rash •Sore throat •Check-up •Growth concerns •Dermatitis •Chronic back pain •Neck pain •Joint pain •Nerve pain •Headaches •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •ADHD •Trauma •Panic attacks •Contraception •Diabetes •Acne treatment •Substance abuse •Sexual health •Abnormal menstruation •Flu •Allergies •Covid *Treatment philosophy My treatment philosophy centers on providing holistic, patient-centered care that emphasizes the integration of physical, emotional, and social aspects of health.

Hello and welcome! I'm Abou Diallo, a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with a compassionate approach to your healthcare needs. With advanced degrees from Texas Wesleyan University and the University of Mount Saint Vincent, I've honed my expertise to provide you with exceptional care. My academic achievements are marked by excellent GPAs, reflecting my commitment to learning and professional growth. While working as an FNP, I took courses toward a DNP degree. After validating all the DNP courses, including three years of research work on obesity, I successfully defended my Doctorate thesis on "Educating Providers on Barriers to Effective Obesity Management." My clinical journey has been diverse, including acute care, managing chronic diseases, and offering palliative management at UHG in Houston. Before that, I served at the Mount Vernon Neighborhood Health Center in New York, managing acute and chronic conditions with a patient-first mindset. Being ANCC board certified and holding FNP licenses in New York and New Mexico assures you that your health is in qualified hands. My proficiency in French (my native language), Malinke, and basic Spanish allows me to connect with a diverse patient population. Beyond my clinical roles, I'm an active member of several professional organizations, such as the Obesity Medicine Association and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. I enjoy soccer, running, or outdoor adventures when not caring for patients. I look forward to being part of your journey to wellness with personalized attention every step of the way!

I work with adolescents and adults suffering from mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma, women’s issues, narcissistic abuse, attachment issues, and personality disorders. I also work with couples to improve communication, develop healthy conflict-resolution skills, and create a long-term family vision and mission that restores harmony in everyday life. I believe psychoeducation and a personalized mental health care plan empower clients to make lasting changes quickly. I create a unique treatment plan for each client with specific, measurable goals. I use therapeutic breathwork, CBT, and DBT to help clients quickly reduce symptoms while evaluating emotional and behavioral patterns that may require longer-term therapy. I approach personality disorders, attachment dysfunction, and identity confusion from a developmental and psychodynamic perspective and have experience treating borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality disorders. I earned my B.A. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, and after a career as a business executive, returned to school in 2020, earning a Master of Science degree in clinical mental health counseling from Tarleton State University. I am an alumna of the national women’s leadership academy, Leadership America, and was selected in 2015 to be a patient advocate for the National Center for Healthcare Research in Washington, D.C. I am a writer, public speaker, and patient-first healthcare activist, and have published many written works about the dangers of using pharmaceuticals and medical devices cleared (not fully approved) through the FDA's lax 510k marketing process. I enjoy gardening, all forms of creativity and self-expression, love to learn, and believe that where there is humor, there is healing. My husband and I live in Central Texas and enjoy camping with our two dogs and parakeet. We have two adult sons and three granddaughters and believe in the restoration of family relationships as a path to well-being.

My education in counseling and nutrition puts me in a unique position of providing comprehensive care for issues around eating, body image, and digestive health, while also being able to focus on nutrition-specific or psychology-specific concerns, such as anxiety, depression and other developmental matters. I believe that counseling is helpful at all stages of the lifespan, so I work with children, couples, families, and individual adults. My goal as a counselor is to support the emotional and personal growth of our community in a safe, accessible environment.  I embrace ACT, CBT, and MI, with person-centered, feminist and multicultural perspectives, focusing on lifting up voices of those who historically have not felt heard. I am an empathetic, patient listener and I believe strongly that my role as a counselor is to give my clients as much safe space as they need to process whatever their current situation is. I work in an integrated setting with other licensed mental health counselors, as well as other disciplines, such as nutritionists and NDs, as I believe that health is integrated and that we can best serve our community when all of these disciplines come together to be of service.

Over 26 years of experience in psychiatry and substance use treatment settings. I utilize both conventional therapy and complimentary treatment options (e.g. use of dietary supplements). I offer psychiatric evaluation & medication management for adults, virtually and in-person. I can be flexible with my client's schedule. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: Initial visit will focus on an assessment of symptoms and medical history. We will then collaborate to create a plan for addressing reported symptoms in a way that helps you feel in control. My patients typically experience symptom relief within the first month, followed by sustained improvement thereafter.
