Hello!
My name is Mone't Ince-Amara
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to enhancing the well-being of individuals facing mental health challenges. Specializing in trauma-informed care, I take an integrative and functional approach to treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and disordered eating. I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University in 2019 and am licensed to practice in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
With over a decade of experience as a registered nurse, I have specialized in Sexual Assault Nurse Examination (SANE) and worked in various hospital settings, gaining deep insight into trauma care and emergency services. My commitment to mental health extends beyond clinical practice—I have volunteered as a crisis counselor for survivors of domestic violence, sexual trauma, human trafficking, strangulation, and child abuse. I am passionate about transforming mental health care by providing compassionate, evidence-based support to those in need.
Our Mission & Philosophy
A Whole-Person Approach to Mental Wellness.
At Mendem, we believe that mental health care should go beyond symptom management—it should be a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Unlike traditional psychiatry, which often focuses solely on medication to treat symptoms, our approach is holistic, functional, and lifestyle-based. We recognize that mental well-being is deeply connected to factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress, hormonal balance, and overall lifestyle choices.
Our mission is to provide compassionate, personalized care that meets each woman and girl where she is on her journey. Rather than viewing mental health as a set of isolated symptoms, we take a whole-person approach—exploring the underlying causes that may be contributing to emotional distress and working together to create a path toward lasting well-being.
The Approach
We integrate evidence-based psychiatry with functional and lifestyle medicine, offering a comprehensive approach that considers the mind, body, and environment in achieving optimal mental health. While medication may be part of the journey, we also explore complementary strategies, including:
-
Nutritional and metabolic health
-
Sleep optimization and stress management
-
Mind-body practices
-
Functional lab testing to uncover root causes
-
Personalized lifestyle modifications
Every woman and girl deserves care that empowers her to take control of her mental well-being in a way that aligns with her unique needs and values. We are here to support that journey—on her terms.
