Owner, Founder and Nurse Practitioner

I am Elijah Yarpah, PhD, RN, CNP, PMHNP-BC, and the founder of Greatest Psychiatry and Wellness. With 15 years of nursing knowledge, as a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I support children, teens, and adults in a collaborative journey toward wellness.

I am a proud Navy Nurse/veteran with a cultivating passion for creative movement and nature. I am a nurse with an educational background that allows medication prescription and psychotherapy in collaboration with psychiatrists. As a PMHNP-BC, I have primarily worked with people who are struggling with trauma, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, developmental disabilities, panic disorders, ADHD & ADD, autism, and borderline personality disorder.

I have held education roles as an adjunct professor and clinical preceptor for nursing students and presented at nursing professional organizations. I draw upon this extensive background and evidence-based approaches in my work with private patients.

In the first session, a kind, nonjudgmental conversation will occur, leading to an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include time-tested psychiatric medications but will also add non-pharmacologic strategies to aid the recovery process. I also like to collaborate and often work with the other members of your care team. We will assess you throughout treatment and modify your healing goals as needed.
