Welcome! I am Zakisha Godfrey, a dedicated and experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse
Practitioner (PMHNP) with a commitment to providing compassionate and comprehensive care to adults aged 18-65. With a diverse background in various clinical settings, including
community health, outpatient and inpatient facilities, residential treatment centers, and
correctional institutions, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice
I specialize in the treatment of a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and opioid use disorders. My approach is holistic and patient-centered, focusing on individualized care plans that address each patient’s unique needs and goals.
To offer flexible and truly personalized care without the restrictions of insurance, my practice is private-pay (cash only). If you have insurance, I can provide a detailed Superbill upon request, which you may submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
Because of the limitations of virtual care, I do not currently treat individuals with complex psychiatric or neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), as these often require more intensive coordination of care.
For the safety of my clients, I do not prescribe benzodiazepines (such as Ativan, Xanax, Valium, or Klonopin). I also follow FDA guidelines when prescribing stimulant medications. Controlled substances are not prescribed for individuals who are receiving opioid-based pain management.
I am committed to creating a respectful, warm, and inclusive space where you can access high-quality care from the comfort and privacy of your home. My mission is to reduce the stigma and limiting beliefs surrounding mental health. Through compassionate care, education, and advocacy, I want to empower you to understand your challenges and seek help without shame. I believe in shifting perspectives—one client, one community, and one voice at a time.
As part of my practice, I offer expert medication management services, including the prescribing and management of Suboxone for individuals dealing with opioid use disorder. I am committed to supporting my patients through every step of their recovery journey, ensuring they have access to the most effective and up-to-date treatment options.
Understanding the importance of accessibility and convenience, I provide medication management services exclusively through online virtual visits. This allows my patients to receive high-quality care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes, making it easier to fit mental health care into their busy lives.
With years of experience across various settings, I am well-equipped to handle complex cases and provide comprehensive care. My goal is to empower my patients, helping them achieve mental wellness and improve their quality of life.
