Ruth Nyasimi, NP — Psychiatrist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Ruth!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Evenna Mental Wellness. I provide compassionate, personalized care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and involved in your care.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, sleep difficulties, and life stressors. I support clients who want to better understand their symptoms and take an active role in care. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan focused on improving stability, confidence, daily functioning, and well-being each day.

My approach

I provide compassionate, personalized, and judgment-free care where you feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we'll explore your concerns and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. I combine evidence-based medication management, education, and supportive therapy to help you improve your mental health and daily life too.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, respectful, and collaborative. I listen without judgment, encourage open and honest conversations, and explain treatment options in clear, easy-to-understand language. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and taking an active role in decisions about your mental health care.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began as a registered nurse, where caring for individuals experiencing mental health challenges inspired me to pursue advanced psychiatric training. Becoming a PMHNP allowed me to combine my nursing experience with my passion for mental health and provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps people feel heard and supported.

My goals for you

I help clients set realistic, meaningful goals based on what matters most to them. Together, we track symptoms, progress, and treatment response while adjusting the plan as needed. Through medication management, education, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies, I help clients build lasting progress and improve daily functioning.

Our first session

Our first session is a welcoming, judgment-free conversation focused on understanding you as a whole person. We’ll discuss your concerns, symptoms, history, current medications, and treatment goals. Together, we’ll review options, answer your questions, and develop a personalized treatment plan that feels comfortable and achievable.
