About Edwin Akwanga

Thank you for visiting my profile. I have been a registered nurse for 14 years, with the most recent 11 years dedicated to psychiatry. My experience in psychiatric settings includes intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and inpatient acute psychiatric care, encompassing substance abuse and detoxification treatments for patients across the lifespan. The inpatient psychiatric setting also features a specialized military program exclusively for active-duty military personnel. Throughout my nursing career, I have acquired a diverse skill set, ranging from bedside nursing to leadership positions. I've worked in acute care and outpatient psychiatric settings, step-down acute medical, long-term care (nursing home), and home health settings. Caring for patients is my passion. As a Psychiatric Mental Nurse Practitioner, I am devoted to delivering quality and comprehensive mental health services. My goal is to alleviate suffering while empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives through personalized support and care. I am here to provide warm and supportive care dedicated to your well-being. Ready to assist in every aspect of your behavioral health and recovery, I am committed to ensuring a brighter and healthier future. Remember, you are not alone on this journey.
