Aju Alex, MSN, PMHNP,
About Aju Alex (She/Her)
Aju Alex has experience in treating individuals with depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, alcohol disorder, and sleep disorders. She has her Master of Science in Nursing from Georgia Southern University and is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Prior to working as a PMHNP she worked as an RN at in-patient psychiatric units in Kansas and Georgia, catering to the needs of children, adolescents, and adults. She was motivated to further her career as a PMHNP after seeing the struggles and trauma that caused patients to be hospitalized/homeless. She firmly believes that God has a purpose for everyone’s life.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master in Business Administration from India. She believes everyone is unique and develops a treatment plan that includes psychotherapy and psychopharmacology to suit their needs. Aju uses active listening and supportive psychotherapy to connect with the individual with the intention of starting the healing process. Her hobbies include spending time with family, cooking, travelling, and playing board games with friends. She speaks English, Hindi, Malayalam, and Telugu.
