Angela Kokinakos
Before becoming a nurse practitioner in psychiatry, I worked as a staff nurse throughout the Covid-19 pandemic while I was in graduate school at the University of Washington. During my eight years as a staff nurse, I also worked in perioperative acute care and psychiatry. Prior to nursing, I was a massage therapist for fifteen years and have a strong background in holistic health and wellness, where I studied natural medicine, aromatherapy, and became attuned to Reiki II. Since completing my doctoral degree in psychiatric nursing practice, I have also completed a certificate in palliative care from UW. I endorse an integrational approach to mental health that often includes not only psychopharmacology, but also recommendations for supplements and praxis outside of the time spent in session. I am interested in helping adult patients coping with depression, trauma, chronic pain and/or psychotic spectrum disorders. I am passionate about education, for my patients, the general public, my students, and myself; I am always learning and keeping up with current evidence on best practices. I prefer to implement an integrative approach, blending complementary treatments with traditional approaches. I feel passionate about addressing social injustice in the healthcare system and advocating to ameliorate the underlying issues that support continued stigmatization of mental health and related disparities. To me, this means a commitment to policy advocacy and a willingness to be involved in influencing both the voting public and legislative bodies on issues that pertain to scientific and medical literacy. It also means supporting the development of my future colleagues by mentoring both NP students and residents; I was recently recognized by the Association of Advance Practice Psychiatric Nurses as their 2024 preceptor of the year, and it’s my great pleasure to support Sea Mar’s Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner postgraduate training program.

During her time at ASU, Modupeola gained invaluable experience through clinical rotations along the Arizona-Mexico border, where she thrived in providing care to underserved and Spanish-speaking populations. Her advanced training laid the foundation for her transition into psychiatric mental health, a field she embraced even more after completing postdoctoral training. During her training, she worked primarily in crisis settings with both adolescent and adult populations, where she encountered the complexities of mental health management and treatment, sparking her desire to further her education and expertise in this field.
Inspired by her growing passion for mental health care, Modupeola chose to further her expertise through a psychiatric-mental health residency. Her clinical interests focus on the treatment of severe mental illness and advocating for equitable access to mental health services for underserved populations. She is particularly dedicated to addressing disparities in care and ensuring that those in need can receive comprehensive and compassionate support.
Outside of residency, Modupeola enjoys spending quality time with her family, exploring new travel destinations, and engaging in creative pursuits.
