Services · No. 03
A private outpatient psychiatric practice. Services cover the work of most clinic weeks — from a first consultation through ongoing psychiatric care — alongside one specialty programme for treatment-resistant cases.
Standard care first. Specialty care where it fits.
An initial 60 to 90 minute appointment with Dr. Nabiswa to understand your history, current symptoms, what you have already tried, and your treatment goals. The outcome is a working diagnosis (or a clear next step toward one) and a plan you understand and consent to.
Evidence-based prescribing of antidepressants, anxiolytics, mood stabilisers, antipsychotics, sleep medication, and pharmacotherapy for addiction, with regular review for response and side effects. Dr. Nabiswa specialises in psychopharmacology and complex regimens.
Follow-up appointments paced to your recovery: weekly in the early weeks where needed, monthly as you stabilise, and longer intervals once you are well. Care is structured but not formulaic.
Sleep, exercise, nutrition, and structure are not optional extras. They are built into every plan, alongside medication and therapy, because the evidence says they matter.
We do not provide weekly talk therapy in-house, but we work with a trusted network of psychologists and counsellors in Nairobi. Where therapy is the right next step, we will refer and stay in coordination with your therapist.
Reports for employers, schools, courts, or insurers, when clinically appropriate. Second opinion consultations for patients already in care elsewhere who want a fresh psychiatric review.
Psychiatric assessment and care for teenagers, with parental involvement at the level the young person consents to. Common presentations include depression, anxiety, self-harm, school refusal, ADHD, and early-onset mood disorders.
Postpartum depression and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, and postpartum OCD. Treatment plans are built with breastfeeding compatibility and infant safety in mind.
Outpatient psychiatric support for alcohol and substance use disorders, including pharmacotherapy for cravings and relapse prevention, alongside referral to rehabilitation services where indicated.
Assessment and treatment of insomnia, circadian rhythm problems, and sleep disturbance secondary to depression, anxiety, PTSD, or medication. Sleep hygiene first, pharmacology where it is genuinely needed.
Psychiatric care for borderline personality and other complex presentations, with realistic goals around stability, safety, and quality of life. We coordinate closely with therapists where DBT or schema work is part of the plan.
Assessment and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, including pharmacological options and coordination with trauma-focused therapy. Where appropriate, the ketamine programme can be considered as an adjunct.
In one paragraph
Kenya's first low-dose ketamine therapy programme for psychiatric conditions, running since 2019. Every session is supervised by an ACLS-certified specialist with continuous critical-care monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen saturation.
Suitability is decided after a thorough psychiatric and medical workup. We do not offer ketamine to every patient who asks for it.
Our specialty offering, and the one Dr. Nabiswa is best known for. Ketamine therapy is a monitored, low-dose, hospital-grade programme reserved for adults with severe and treatment-resistant conditions where standard care has not worked: treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, and certain chronic pain syndromes.
It is not the centre of the practice. It is one of the tools we use, and we will tell you honestly whether it is right for you.
