Bukola M. Zubair, RN, BSN, PMHNP-BC

After 13 years of nursing in acute setting as med-surg nurse and community health nurse, I am beginning a new journey as a Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. My nursing philosophy is based on the belief that nursing is the culmination of science, skills, art, and compassion centered on caring for individuals, families, and communities. I believe that the care given to others is optimized when it is driven by ethical values, respect, compassion, and evidence-based outcomes.

With regards to mental health, it is by eradicating the stigma around it. I believe it is OK not to be OK but what is perfectly OK is to seek help. My practice is concerned with health, illness, and healing and providing holistic nursing care, and incorporating their support system in the journey. Involving the patient’s family in the treatment will go a long way in the patient's recovery.

I believe that you are the expert on your own experiences, and I endeavor to meet the individuals and families where they are in their unique emotional journey through tailored and focused holistic psychotherapy that utilize various theoretical models, such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength based, mindfulness, Family Systems Theory, Narrative/Talk therapy, and Person-Centered approach to explore and remove barriers to personal health and wellness.

In therapy, my aim is to utilize an eclectic (Mind, body, and soul) approach to offer the individual psycho education, counseling, and skills development to resolve issues they are dealing with by actively listening to their needs and challenges in a bias free and safe setting where they can release, process, learn new ways of thinking/believing to effectively resolve problems in their daily living.
