Professional statement

My name is Bernard Marfo, I am a Board Certified Family Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner licensed to practice in AZ, IA,TX, & WA. I have diverse clinical background in critical care, mental health consults, and medication management. My practice module is based on individual client-centered and culturally competent treatment approach. I pride myself in working with clients through compassion, empathy, respect, and humility to reduce the stigma of mental illness, promote mental health, and improve their overall health. I look forward to be part of the team helping you to get your life back and living happily.


Message to clients

Thank you for being here and for taking the time to learn more. Choosing a therapist or psychiatric nurse practitioner is a personal decision, and it matters that you feel comfortable with the person you are working with. I strive to create a space where you can be honest, even about the things that feel confusing or hard to say out loud. Together, we will explore what you are experiencing and what healing and growth could look like for you. I will meet you with compassion while also helping you make meaningful change. You do not have to do this alone.
