Hello, I’m Sakina Hayden, a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with more than six years of experience providing care. I work with children ages 5 and older, adolescents, and adults, and offer care in both English and Spanish.
     I believe meaningful psychiatric care begins with listening and getting to know you as a whole person—not just focusing on symptoms or a diagnosis. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
     I specialize in psychopharmacology and take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans. Together, we’ll consider your mental and physical health, medical history, environment, cultural background, lifestyle, support system, personal needs, and goals.
     Your voice matters in your care. We’ll work together to create an individualized treatment plan that feels manageable, clinically appropriate, and aligned with your preferences and goals.
     I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments in a welcoming, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable taking the next step.

Your experiences matter. Your voice matters. Your treatment should be personal to you
      I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate psychiatric care to children age 5 and older, adolescents, and adults. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care.
       I specialize in psychopharmacology and take a whole-person approach to psychiatric care. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding the person, not just the symptoms or diagnosis. When developing a treatment plan I consider the whole picture not just your the symptoms. This may include your medical history, environment, cultural background, lifestyle, support system as well as other factors that may influence how you feel day to day and impact your mental health and overall well being.
       My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric treatment with appropriate holistic considerations. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan that reflects your needs, preferences, goals, and input.
      Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, I strive to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment. Together, we can explore what may be affecting your emotional well-being and determine an approach that is appropriate for your individual needs and circumstances.
      I offer both in-person and telepsychiatry appointments to make quality mental health care accessible and convenient. Wherever you are in your journey, my role is to walk beside you—not ahead of you—as we work toward your goals, strengthen resilience, and create a path toward greater emotional well-being and a more peaceful mind.
 Your journey is yours. You don’t have to walk it alone.
My mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based, whole-person psychiatric care while partnering with you on your journey toward mental wellness and a more peaceful mind.
