I seek to provide culturally affirming, holistic care that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. As a multicultural, neurodivergent psychiatrist and daughter of immigrants raised in Chicago, I bring both clinical training and lived experience to our work together. My own journey through burnout and the process of learning to slow down and listen to what my body needed has also shaped the care I provide. It has grounded me in genuine curiosity, humility, and a deep respect for the wisdom you already carry.

My name is Falilat Bakare, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and healthcare experience. I understand that every individual's mental health journey is unique, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and supported.
Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we can work towards healing, resilience, and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna, Cigna, Ascension, Carelon Behavioral Health, Curative,
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a strong passion for helping adults navigate mental health challenges with clarity and confidence. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Maryville University, where I specialized in psychiatric care across the lifespan.
My clinical approach is collaborative, warm, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I provide medication management and integrate psychoeducation to help clients better understand and manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions. I believe in treating the whole person—not just the diagnosis—and in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely heard.
I currently see clients via telehealth only, offering flexible and convenient access to care from the comfort of your own space. Whether you're seeking your first psychiatric evaluation or continued support, my goal is to work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that supports your mental and emotional well-being.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in healthcare. My experience caring for people with a wide range of physical and mental health needs has shaped my belief that our mental health is deeply connected to the many factors in our lives—including our physical health, relationships, life experiences, and everyday stressors.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood changes, stress, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that can accompany chronic illness, neurocognitive disorders, aging, and caregiving.
I hope to help you move toward better health, greater balance, and a healthier, more peaceful life.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing leadership and healthcare operations. After serving as a Chief Nursing Officer, I chose to transition into psychiatric care because I wanted to work more directly with individuals and families. I recently completed my PMHNP training and bring experience supporting people across the lifespan, from children through older adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and addiction.

Hello.
- I’m excited about working together.
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience assessing and treating a broad range of psychiatric conditions. I see patients from young adults through older adulthood. My practice is largely focused on adults dealing with stress, mood changes, sleep issues, and the cumulative weight of work, relationships, and responsibility, and questions of spirituality. I respect your time, your autonomy, and your intelligence.

I'm starting my private practice with a simple goal: to make mental health care feel approachable, whether you're an adult or a child navigating anxiety, depression, or the effects of past trauma. I see clients of all ages and want you to feel like a full partner in your own care, not just someone receiving instructions. I know it takes courage to reach out for support, and I want every conversation with me to feel judgment free and collaborative. My schedule is flexible, including evenings and weekends, so we can find a time that actually works for your life. I'm here to listen first and build a plan together from there.
