Folakemi Akintomide, NP — Psychiatrist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Folakemi!

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that integrates psychotherapy and medication management. I focus on helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use through personalized, patient-centered treatment that honors your unique journey toward emotional well-being.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, ADHD, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders. My focus is on creating tailored treatment plans that combine psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and holistic interventions to support your unique mental health needs.

My approach

My approach is holistic and collaborative, addressing your biological, psychological, and social needs. I integrate CBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions with medication management when appropriate. Together, we'll develop coping strategies and lifestyle changes that promote healing and resilience.

My communication style

Sessions with me feel warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental. I prioritize active listening and collaborative care, ensuring you feel heard and empowered in your mental health journey. You can expect compassionate support, evidence-based guidance, and a calm presence as we work through challenges together.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working in mental health has been deeply rewarding. My experiences have shown me that early intervention and consistent treatment can transform lives, reducing relapse and helping people build meaningful, stable futures. I'm committed to supporting individuals through their mental health challenges.

My goals for you

We'll set SMART goals together—specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. I'll help you identify priorities, celebrate small wins, and adjust our approach as needed. My focus is empowering you to take an active role in your recovery while providing evidence-based support every step of the way.

Our first session

Our first session focuses on building rapport and understanding your story. I'll gather information about your symptoms, history, and goals while explaining my approach to treatment. We'll discuss potential next steps, whether that includes therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes, and you'll have space to ask questions.
