A note from Kate
Hi, I’m Kate Okwesa, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and founder of The Center for Mind and Mood. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through telepsychiatry for adolescents and adults. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and women’s mental health, and I combine thoughtful medication management with brief, supportive therapy to help you feel better and function at your best. Patients often come to me when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start—I focus on clear treatment plans, collaborative care, and real results.
