Dr. Rose Marie Nyakako

Compassionate Psychiatric Care Rooted in Experience, Faith, and Understanding

Dr. Rose Marie Nyakako is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP-BC), and Registered Nurse with more than twenty years of nursing experience dedicated to improving the lives of individuals across diverse healthcare settings.

Her nursing journey began in visiting nursing and correctional healthcare, where she provided compassionate care to patients requiring medical support following hospitalization. Although psychiatry was not part of her original career plan, her path changed profoundly after working on a dual-diagnosis psychiatric unit. It was there that she discovered a deep passion for supporting individuals living with mental health conditions.

Driven by her commitment to lifelong learning and patient-centered care, Dr. Nyakako pursued advanced education in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care and later earned her PhD, focusing her doctoral research on mental illness and psychiatric care. During this period, she also completed a post-graduate certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Her professional philosophy is grounded in empathy, dignity, and stigma-free mental healthcare. Dr. Nyakako believes that mental illness should be approached with the same compassion and understanding as any other medical condition. She recognizes that mental health challenges can arise from many factors, including trauma, genetics, hormonal imbalance, and substance use, and she is deeply committed to helping individuals navigate these challenges with hope and support.

In addition to providing therapy and medication management, Dr. Nyakako is passionate about educating future nurses and advancing awareness surrounding mental health care within communities.

At Kelsuby Health & Wellness, she provides comprehensive psychiatric care focused on healing, emotional wellness, and empowering individuals to live healthier, more balanced lives.
