She understands that the transition from inpatient care back to everyday life can be challenging and often requires close follow-up, medication adjustments, and consistent support. Sika is deeply committed to helping these patients maintain stability, reduce the risk of readmission, and build sustainable coping strategies as they continue their recovery journey. In addition to this work, she treats conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and cooccurring issues through psychiatric evaluation and medication management. She also has experience supporting individuals facing mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and other complex mental health concerns. Sika works with diverse populations, including individuals with developmental disabilities, first responders, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and she offers care in French and Ewe. Her clinical background includes experience in both mental health and high-acuity medical environments, strengthening her ability to assess complex psychiatric needs. Outside of her clinical work, Sika enjoys reading, cooking, and traveling
