Hello and welcome! I'm Afi Kpakossou, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping people manage their mental health.

Currently, I am part of the dedicated team at Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness., where I focus on initial patient evaluations, medication management, and coordinating care to ensure comprehensive treatment for my patients.
