I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I began my journey to psychiatry as a registered nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2006. I spent 14 years gaining clinical experience working with adolescent and adult inpatients and in emergency departments and correctional facilities. After helping people at the bedside and working with multidisciplinary teams treating various psychiatric disorders, I realized this was a passion for myself and thus decided to advance my career as a PMHNP-BC. I am committed to supplying personalized and comprehensive care. My practice follows evidence-based guidelines and uses clinical experience, personal observation, and intuition. At MWP we provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and an individualized medication management plan with special attention to one’s needs. We believe that a holistic and innovative approach is ideal for the psychiatric population, their care, and illness management.
MIU Center was created by Dr. Munachim Uyanwune in 2021. Dr. Uyanwune fondly known as “Dr. U” was inspired to create this practice in response to all the turbulent events in 2020, particularly the coronavirus pandemic, racial discrimination and the stigma associated with mental health. While growing up, Dr. Uyanwune saw untreated mental illness in her community. She learned that the impact of this extends wide, affecting the individual, their family and their community at large. At MIU Center, we realize people are unique and hence each person will require different approaches in helping them reach their vision and goals. MIU Center provides medication management for treatment of behavioral health disorders.
“Dr. Ghapsi was incredibly pleasant, kind, and understanding throughout my visit. I was feeling anxious at first, but she immediately made me feel more at ease with her calm and compassionate approach. She took the time to really listen and offered thoughtful guidance without any judgment. I felt supported, respected, and cared for. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a doctor who is not only professional but also truly empathetic.”
