Welcome to Eki Mental Health

Where heritage meets holistic mental health

I'm Dr. Isimenmen (Isi) Etakibuebu, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Regis College and over a decade of experience in mental health care. I specialize in treating adults across a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from mood and anxiety disorders to complex and acute presentations, including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Substance abuse, OCD, Bipolar disorder, and Schizophrenia.

My practice is rooted in empathy, evidence-based care, and a commitment to helping you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I believe that healing begins with understanding. I take the time to listen deeply, assess thoroughly, and collaborate with you to design a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

With extensive clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I bring a comprehensive approach to mental healthcare. Whether we're exploring medication options, coping strategies, or crisis support, my goal is to provide holistic care that respects your voice and values — empowering you to reclaim agency in your mental health journey.
