Abimbola Otufale, MSN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC

I'm Abimbola "Abby" Otufale, and I became a nurse practitioner because I believe everyone deserves access to mental health care that actually sees them — as a whole person, not a checklist. After more than a decade working in healthcare settings, I saw too many people falling through the cracks: getting 15-minute appointments, a prescription, and nothing else.

At Everpath Wellness, I've built the practice I always wanted to offer. Every appointment is unhurried. I listen to your full story — your history, your goals, what's already been tried — before we talk about any plan. And I bring a perspective that most practices don't: as a mother of three who understands the particular weight of trying to hold everything together, I meet you where you are, not where the textbook says you should be.

My training in integrative psychiatry means I look beyond the symptom to the full picture — sleep, nutrition, lifestyle, relationships, stress load. Medication can be a powerful tool when it's the right fit, but I pair it with practical strategies and brief supportive therapy and counseling so you're not dependent on any one intervention.

For adult ADHD treatment, I specialize in non-stimulant medication management and evaluation-first approaches. For anxiety and depression, I use solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing alongside psychiatric medication management when appropriate. I also offer pharmacogenomic testing when it may help explain why certain medications haven't worked — or have caused side effects.

My patients tend to be high-functioning adults who look fine on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside — burned-out professionals, overwhelmed mothers, people with anxiety or ADHD who've been white-knuckling through life for years. Many have tried therapy, tried to "push through," and are finally ready to try something that actually works.

I also have a particular passion for women's mental health — the intersection of hormones, identity, caregiving, and mental health that so often goes unaddressed.
