YOUR PROVIDER
Aderonke Akande (Addie) is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. She has been a nurse since 2000 and worked as a Registered Nurse in a variety of specialties for 7 years before returning to school for her advanced practice degrees. Working as a Family Nurse Practitioner in primary care, she felt the impact of the shortage of mental health care providers and lack of access to psychiatric care which prompted her to further her education in mental health at Azusa Pacific University in California.
