Bolanle Babajide-Gbenga, NP — Psychiatrist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Bolanle!

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Chatham University. I specialize in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. My approach is patient-centered, evidence-based, and compassionate.

My focus

I provide evidence-based care for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. Of Note: I treat ADHD using non-stimulant medications only. FMLA, disability, and related forms are completed after a minimum of 4 visits.

My approach

I adopt a holistic and patient-centered approach to mental healthcare, integrating various frameworks to address your unique needs. I draw upon psychodynamic and interpersonal theories to understand underlying psychological factors, and incorporate cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and modify maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors.

My communication style

I strive to create a safe, confidential, and empathetic environment. I approach each session with active listening and a non-judgmental attitude, fostering a therapeutic alliance that empowers you to share your experiences openly. This collaborative approach aims to make you feel heard, valued, and supported throughout your mental health journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a mental healthcare provider began with a strong foundation in nursing. I pursued advanced education to specialize in psychiatric-mental health nursing. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care.

My goals for you

I prioritize collaborative goal-setting to ensure treatment plans are meaningful and achievable. I employ the SMART criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This approach helps formulate clear objectives that align with your values and aspirations.

Our first session

During your first session, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation of your mental health. This initial appointment involves filling out paperwork and assessments to help determine a diagnosis. I will ask detailed questions about your medical and psychiatric history, including current medications and family history.
