About Olayemi
I am a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 14 years of diverse healthcare experience. I earned my Associate Degree in Nursing from Prince George’s Community College, my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing from Bowie State University, and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Brandman University. Currently, I am licensed to provide care to clients residing in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.
I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnostic assessments, medication management, and individualized treatment planning across the lifespan, serving children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My clinical expertise spans a wide range of behavioral and mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, sleep disorders, OCD, and substance use disorders.
Integrating my extensive background in both family medicine and psychiatric care, I approach mental health from a whole-person perspective. I carefully evaluate the complex interplay between physical health, emotional well-being, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors to deliver truly holistic care. Guided by an evidence-based and patient-centered framework, I work collaboratively with each individual to design practical treatment plans aligned with their specific goals and values.
I am deeply committed to creating a respectful, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel fully heard, valued, and empowered as active partners in their care. My goal is to support my clients in achieving greater emotional stability, enhanced daily functioning, and a higher overall quality of life.

Medication Management
How does medication management work, and what does the process look like?
Medication management begins with a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, mental and physical health history, current medications, lifestyle, and treatment goals. Based on this information, I work collaboratively with you to determine whether medication may be appropriate and, when needed, select an evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. We also discuss potential benefits, side effects, and what to expect from treatment.
Follow-up appointments are used to monitor your response, assess side effects, and make adjustments when appropriate. The goal is to achieve greater emotional stability, improved daily functioning, and overall well-being while ensuring that treatment remains individualized and patient-centered.
Approaches · Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
How does solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) work, and what do sessions look like?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that focuses on your strengths, resources, and the changes you want to make rather than spending extensive time focusing on problems. Together, we identify achievable goals and explore what is already working in your life, including past successes and existing strengths that can support progress.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on identifying small, meaningful steps toward your goals. We may explore questions about your preferred future, recognize positive changes, and build on strategies that are helping. The goal is to help you develop practical solutions and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
