Hi, I'm Solange-Belle Anyu, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I have a passion for building strong relationships with my patients and their families, providing care that is both compassionate and effective. With a solid background in behavioral health, I offer personalized treatment plans for individuals of all ages. I have extensive experience in mental health assessments, anxiety management, and treating conditions like bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. I also work with patients facing dual diagnoses. I believe in clear, empathetic communication and strive to ensure my patients feel understood and supported throughout their treatment journey. Whether I'm leading support groups for Alzheimer's and dementia or conducting geriatric assessments, my goal is to improve patient outcomes and enhance their quality of life. Outside of work, I'm a proud member of the American Nurses Association and the Missouri Nurses Association. I'm here to provide holistic, culturally sensitive care that meets the unique needs of each individual. Let's work together to achieve better health and well-being. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe that every human being has within them the ability to overcome mental illness and achieve wholeness and that medications can help facilitate that healing. I also understand that psychotherapy plays an even more significant role in many cases, and I will always encourage my patients to make it an integral part of their treatment.

Social Worker

I am a Social Worker and Yoga Instructor. I first became interested in working with mental health when I returned home from Afghanistan while in the Army National Guard. I have seen many friends fall victim to substance abuse, depression, and PTSD. I swore that I would work on being in the position to best help veterans and others who go through difficult situations. Being an addictions counselor and Social Worker is very personal to me. It is my passion. Seeing that I already had a bachelor's in Community Health, I made it my goal to become some kind of practitioner. When I learned about Social Work, I was overwhelmed with the idea of getting my Masters and working towards a license. A few years later, I finally received my Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am proud of my license and it took 5 years of hard work to attain. I have now been working in the mental health and addictions field for roughly 10 years. I first got into counseling in the military. After a few years of working inpatient mental health and substance abuse, I spent some time outpatient. I specialize in addictions but have much experience with people with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have an extra certified credential of being a Certified Trauma Therapy Professional. I also experience helping people dealing with relationships, careers, and other life issues as well. Also, I have experience working with those who have a criminal background. I try to listen and understand your problems and point of view the best I can. Based on this I work with you to develop a plan to help you make improvements. My main focus is to help you make a positive change. I hope to work around you’re needs. It's my hope that I can help support you through whatever it is your going through. Some people just want support, while others want a formal therapy. Just let me know what it is you're looking for. Sometimes people just need to talk to someone or need positive encouragement. I am happy to give this as well. I am here to be a positive person in the lives of people that need more positive people. I like to be able to input Yoga techniques in our session. In my free time, I like being with my family and animals. My family has 2 dogs and 2 cats. I attend Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu and Yoga classes a few times a week.
