Three new psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners have joined Northern Light Acadia's Adult Medication Management clinic:
Elizabeth Igwe, PMHNP-BC is a graduate of Grand Canyon University in Arizona where she
received a bachelor of science degree in Nursing. She went on to earn a master’s degree in Nursing from Walden University in 2024. Elizabeth is certified by American Nurses Credentialing Center.
When asked to describe her treatment philosophy, Elizabeth shared, “Empathy, compassion, and respect are at the core of my being. These basic tenets have guided my nursing career for eighteen years and defined my approach to patient care.” She continued, “Beyond my direct patient care responsibilities, I am a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and destigmatization through the power of education and community outreach.”
Elizabeth prides herself on offering her patients a safe a trusted place to receive care. She describes herself as caring, compassionate, kind, and culturally oriented.
Katie Hager, MSN, PMHNP-BC holds three separate nursing degrees – an associate’s degree from
Eastern Maine Community College, and bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Maine at Fort Kent. She is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
Katie’s care philosophy is one rooted in trust and respect which she believes are paramount to good mental health care. “People can and do change their circumstances for the better when given resources they can understand and use,” she says. “I believe all hope is never lost but can be reborn in our darkest moments by simple, genuine expressions of kindness and compassion.”
One of the things Katie tells us she is enjoying most about Acadia are our multi-disciplinary teams. “I’m thrilled to be joining Northern Light Acadia, where so many disciplines are found under one roof, and everyone is so collaborative!”
As a mom to four children and three stepchildren, Katie has a lot on her plate, and much of her spare time is spent at various athletic and other events supporting the kids. As for hobbies, “I love a New England road trip,” she says, especially to UConn to visit her oldest daughter who is entering her senior year. Beyond that, Katie enjoys curling up with a great psychological thriller in her down time.
Abimbola “Bola” Iwegbulam, PMHNP-BC began her medical career when she graduated from the
School of Nursing at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria in 2008. She went on to complete her bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Grand Canyon University in Arizona before receiving a Master’s degree in Nursing from Purdue University Global. She is certified as a PMHNP by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
“My care philosophy is centered on providing compassionate, patient-centered care that addresses the whole person,” says Bola. “I am committed to evidence-based practice and ensuring that my clinical decisions are guided by the latest research and best practices.”
Deeply dedicated to providing compassionate, non-judgmental, and patient centered care, Bola stresses to her patients that they are not alone, and she is there to listen, support, and help them navigate their mental health journey with care and understanding.
