Vivian Nwankwo, NP — Psychiatry Provider in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Vivian!

I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, PMHNP, AGNP, LSW. I have expertise in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar/ psychotic disorders, PTSD, eating disorders, substance abuse, OCD, and more. My approach uniquely integrates therapy and medication management, tailored to support each client's emotional well-being, stability, and personal growth.

My focus

I work with adults and older adults, tailoring care to each stage of life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar and psychotic disorders, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and substance abuse. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on symptom relief and long-term emotional well-being.

My approach

I blend therapeutic and medical expertise to understand your unique needs. In a nurturing environment, we develop coping strategies, achieve emotional stability, and deepen self-understanding. Together, we work towards a more balanced, fulfilling life.

My communication style

My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I create a supportive, calming space where you feel heard and empowered to grow. Working with me feels like having a compassionate guide who helps you navigate challenges with empathy and expertise.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental healthcare began with a commitment to helping underserved populations. I was drawn to the resilience of individuals facing psychiatric challenges, which inspired me to expand my skills. What drives me is making a meaningful difference by blending therapeutic support with medical care.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, working closely with you to identify realistic, meaningful goals that align with your values and needs. We break goals into manageable steps, regularly reviewing progress and adjusting as needed to support growth and lasting change.

Our first session

You can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we discuss your concerns, history, and what you hope to achieve in treatment. I take time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and begin building a personalized care plan tailored to your unique needs.
