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.
She is a firm believer in Sunshine Healthcare’s mission and wholeheartedly believes that all people deserve access to high-quality mental health care. She currently treats psychiatric patients across the lifespan with complex mood and anxiety disorders, co-morbid substance use disorders, dual diagnosis, ADHD, Sleep disorders, Schizophrenia, OCD, and PTSD. I place emphasis on treating the whole person by incorporating a holistic approach to treatment with psychopharmacology.
I strive to provide person-centered care by integrating the core values from years of medical/nursing practice and evidence-based psychiatric treatments. I provide psychotherapy and/or medication management. I have experience treating all ages ranging from Childhood to the geriatric population. I believe in meeting the patient where they are and assisting them to reach their goals of achieving overall wellness. When not at work, Aderonke enjoys spending time with family, dogs, and doing just about anything outdoors.
