Magdalen Mekoh, NP — Psychiatrist in Kentucky

Hi there, I'm Magdalen!

I am passionate about helping those suffering from psychiatric and mental health challenges and substance use in a non-judgmental way, giving them a platform to express themselves without fear of being judged because of their struggles.

My focus

I work with patients suffering from ADHD, anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, grief, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, schizophrenia, and much more.

My approach

My approach is holistic and gets to the root of the problem. I assess to identify the issue, then diagnose, prescribe medication if needed, and offer psychotherapy as needed. I collaborate with you to establish a plan of care that is beneficial and that you feel good about.

My communication style

Patients are given space to speak, and I listen to understand what they are saying from their perspective, not forcing my thoughts on them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had a contract to work in an inpatient detox facility. It was there that I decided to focus on psychiatric mental health because I felt called to give hope to people who have been stigmatized by society and help some regain their self-worth.

My goals for you

I collaborate with patients to set goals that they have agreed on. I may also cue a patient in on goal setting if the patient needs help. I believe that if a patient sets goals, they will be willing to accomplish them. So, I also act as a coach.

Our first session

Patients should expect to spend about an hour during the first visit because, to be treated, the correct history needs to be taken. But the atmosphere is friendly, and the session is more like a conversation.
