Irena Markova, PMHNP

There is so much stigma around mental health and many people are reluctant to seek help because of society's attitude toward mental illnesses. It is past time to end stigma associated with seeking treatment for mental health conditions once and for all. I am committed to being an advocate for those impacted by mental health inequalities.

My ultimate therapeutic goal is for my patients to feel in control of their health. I believe in an evidence-based approach to mental health and will work closely with my patients to accomplish their treatment plans. My focus is on understanding and treating my patients as full persons because everyone deserves a treatment plan suited to their unique feelings, present and prior circumstances, and medical needs. I offer an understanding, judgment- free environment for all my clients to discuss any problem, no matter how small. I offer a treatment strategy based on education that might include therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication.

The past 15 years of working across the medical field have helped shape my well- rounded expertise. My previous experience includes working in long term skilled nursing facilities, acute inpatient psychiatry units, and inpatient substance abuse units in hospitals, where I was deeply involved in our patients' mental health care. In these roles I provided medical and psychiatric care to our residents and patients. My clinical psychiatry rotation was also completed in an outpatient setting. I am a licensed and board certificated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Across the Lifespan) and able to treat patients of any age. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Purdue University in Indiana. I then received my Master of Science in Nursing with specialty of Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Wilkes University in Pennsylvania.

I am excited to bring my passion for mental health care to Clarity Clinic where I am committed to deliver compassionate and effective care to those dealing with mental health issues. I would be delighted to assist you in your journey of mental health.
