Mojisola Ayorinde is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with extensive experience in treating both acute and chronic psychiatric disorders in a variety of psychiatric and behavioral health settings. Starting out as a certified nursing assistant (CNA), she progressed to a psychiatric registered nurse. To her, there was always something else she could do to help her patients.

Mojisola enjoys helping people. Out of concerns for her patients who either don’t want to seek help because of the stigma attached to mental illness, because they can’t afford it, or just don’t know how and/or where to get help. She followed through to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She sees this her act of compassion and kindness as a part of something bigger than herself.

As her patients’ advocate, Mojisola takes pleasure in making a difference in the lives of her patients regardless of their cultural background, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic class, and any factor that separates one humanity from another; she calls this achievement “fulfilling and highest honor.” 

As a believer in the saying that “mental illness is an invisible illness” than meets the eye, Mojisola is adept at meeting her patients where they are, without judgement, she gets with them on their journey to heal their wounds that only compassion can heal. She looks at her patients’ characteristics, changes in behaviors, personalities, warning signs of suicide, etc. to give an individualized plan of care.

Mojisola applies evidence-based practice to deliver care and empowers her patients through education and encouragement to involve them in decisions relating to their care. She determines how prescription drugs may help to create a more stabilized thought patterns, diminish emotional volatility, and unprovoked responsiveness instead of using a “one cap fits all” approach. So, regardless of how Mojisola’s patients acquire these psychological and/or mental illnesses, her goal is to improve the quality of their lives which she calls “restoring their dignity;” dignity to give them the respect and the care that they deserve.
