Meet Cynthia Ankrah, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Where Compassion Meets Clinical Expertise
Hi, I’m Cynthia Ankrah. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, licensed in both New York and New Jersey. I specialize in both psychotherapy and medication management – including prescribing controlled substances as a DEA-licensed provider.
I believe healing starts with feeling seen, heard, and understood. That’s why I take a collaborative, judgment-free approach – creating a treatment plan that honors your story and fits your real life. My care is deeply holistic, focused on your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. This is about more than symptom relief – it’s about helping you reconnect with who you are and supporting you every step of the way.
What We Offer
From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Services That Support Your Healing Journey
Your journey is uniquely yours – and we’re here to walk it with you. We offer a range of compassionate, personalized services to support your healing, restore balance, and help you reconnect with who you truly are.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Your first step begins with a 45 – 60 minute session to explore your symptoms, history, and life circumstances. Together, we’ll uncover what’s really going on and build a treatment plan that fits your needs, goals, and pace.
Start Your Journey
Medication Management
Medication management is a vital part of your treatment. With monthly check-ins (20–30 minutes), we’ll evaluate how your medication is working, monitor any side effects, and make adjustments to ensure it aligns with your goals and supports your overall well-being.
Start Your Journey
Psychotherapy
Therapy provides a safe space to explore patterns, process emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or life transitions, we’ll work together in weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions to support your healing and growth.
