Mone't Ince-Amara, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
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.
Mission
Our mission is to help individuals achieve lasting mental wellness by applying the pillars of lifestyle psychiatry as a foundation for care. We guide each client toward sustainable change through a personalized, holistic approach that addresses mind, body, and environment.
Philosophy
At Mendem, I believe mental health care should go beyond managing symptoms—it should be a catalyst for growth, clarity, and long-term healing. Grounded in lifestyle psychiatry, my approach integrates trauma-informed care, functional insights, and daily habits that shape mental well-being.
I don’t treat the mind in isolation. Your mental health is deeply connected to how you eat, sleep, move, relate, and regulate stress. It’s shaped by your hormones, environment, and sense of emotional safety. That’s why I offer personalized care that honors your story and supports every stage of life—whether you’re navigating singleness, relationships, parenting, or identity transitions.
Together, we explore the root causes of distress and align your mental health plan with your values, lifestyle, and goals—helping you build lasting emotional resilience and a life that reflects who you truly are.
The Approach
I integrate evidence-based psychiatry with integrative & 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
Everyone deserves care that empowers them to take control of their mental well-being in a way that aligns with their unique needs and values. We are here to support that journey—on your terms.
