Hi, I’m Wendy Agyapong, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing and a passion for helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, and life’s daily stressors. I completed my master’s in nursing and have years of experience supporting individuals on their mental health journeys. My goal is to help you feel balanced, confident, and understood in every step of your care.

I’m Linh Tran, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years in healthcare and 5 years in advanced practice. I hold both a Master’s and Doctor of Nursing Practice from Columbia University. My work focuses on anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. I’m especially passionate about supporting adolescents, adults, and those navigating the immigrant or bicultural experience.

I’m a board-certified psychiatrist who works with adolescents through older adults, and I bring both medical and therapeutic training into my work. In addition to psychiatry, I’ve completed advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which allows me to look beyond symptoms and explore the deeper emotional patterns shaping your experience.

I specialize in mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, and women’s mental health, including the unique challenges that come with life transitions. Whether you’re navigating longstanding patterns or a more recent shift, I aim to create a space that feels warm, affirming, and grounded in real understanding.

I'm a quadruple-board-certified psychiatrist -- twice in Adult Psychiatry in Canada and the States, and 2x in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Canada and the States. I immigrated from Canada to LA in 2019 on an O-1 visa granted for my research in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method to treat depression. A mouthful, I know.

While I don't consider myself an "alien of extraordinary ability" (or Melania Trump, for that matter), UCLA and the USCIS did -- who knew! After years in academia on both sides of the pond, I've left the ivory tower to be the warm, irreverent (and of course professional) psychiatrist I am, fulfilling my life's mission to do the "art of medicine".

With over three decades of hands-on clinical and nursing leadership experience, I am a Doctorally prepared and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My professional journey has been devoted to helping individuals overcome emotional distress, regain control of their lives, and achieve mental and physical well-being.

With certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Doctorate in Healthcare Administration, I bring a holistic, integrative perspective to mental health. My practice philosophy blends evidence-based psychiatric medicine with empathy, respect, and patient collaboration. Healing begins with understanding, and I take time to listen, educate, and partner with my patients to develop individualized, sustainable treatment plans.

Dr. Adatsi has a clear mission: to provide comprehensive care that not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances quality of life, restores confidence, and promotes resilience. His commitment to your well-being is unwavering.

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, managing chronic stress, or seeking clarity amid emotional challenges, I’m here to guide you toward balance, stability, and renewed hope.

Hi, I'm Jana Sackett, MSN, PMHNP-BC, an adult psychiatric nurse practitioner treating patients across California by video. I came to psychiatry after more than a decade in emergency nursing, where I learned how often a psychiatric presentation has a medical driver underneath it, so I look at the whole clinical picture, not the symptom in isolation.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and major life stressors, and I'm particularly interested in how medication, supplementation, and daily structure interact — because for most people it is never only the prescription doing the work.

Your first evaluation is a full sixty minutes, you see me at every visit after it, and we track your progress with the same validated measures each time so we both know whether the plan is working.

Hi, I'm Mitch — a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Vanderbilt University. San Diego has been home since 2020, when the Navy first brought me here.

My background includes pediatrics at Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, inpatient psychiatry in Nashville and San Diego, crisis stabilization, and outpatient mental health care. I’ve worked with veterans, college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, people experiencing homelessness, and patients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and severe mental illness.

I primarily provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management while integrating supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies into visits. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in helping people improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

I look forward to getting to know you.

I have been a Nurse Practitioner in an Emergency Department for over ten years. Due to the pandemic, our emergency room has been impacted by psychiatric patients, and I realized that there is a need for nurse practitioners like me to truly help others. Some patients wait hours or overnight in our emergency department to be evaluated. I want to bridge the gap and make a difference by providing care here in Headway.
