You’re constantly tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected from joy. Your thoughts race uncontrollably — or move through a fog so thick you can barely think. Small worries feel like emergencies. Getting through the day takes everything you have, and there’s nothing left for yourself.
These experiences are not weaknesses. They’re signals. And they deserve compassionate, expert attention.
I’m Aicha Katty, a dual-certified psychiatric mental health and family nurse practitioner providing holistic, integrative care to individuals throughout Minnesota and Iowa. I don’t just treat conditions — I treat people. Your whole self: mind, body, history, and hopes.
Anxiety is lying awake at 3 am replaying a conversation from 2019. It’s the invisible weight of constant worry — restless nights, racing thoughts, a body that won’t relax. It drains your energy, strains your relationships, and makes even small tasks feel overwhelming.
But you don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle.
With a tailored blend of supportive care, lifestyle adjustments, and evidence-based tools, I help you:
Whether through mindfulness, lab-informed insights, or carefully managed medication, my goal is lasting relief — not a band-aid. You deserve to feel calm, capable, and fully engaged in your life.
I understand how depression can feel like a fog that never lifts, and how it drains the color from everything. Whether it’s the isolating grip of postpartum depression, the heavy blanket of seasonal sadness, or the slow erosion of hormonal shifts and chronic stress — I’m here to help you reclaim your energy, your motivation, and your joy.
Through compassionate, integrative care, we’ll address both the emotional and physical roots of your depression. We’ll explore how lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, and mindfulness can restore balance — and if medication is right for you, I’ll guide that process with care, transparency, and respect for your pace.
You don’t have to stay stuck in the fog.
Living with ADHD can feel like your thoughts are racing in ten directions at once. Focusing is a battle. Organization feels impossible. You start things but can’t finish them. You know you’re capable — but your brain doesn’t always let you prove it.
I offer personalized care that combines practical strategies, lifestyle adjustments, and medication when appropriate to help you:
For individuals seeking a definitive answer about whether ADHD is driving their symptoms, I also offer comprehensive ADHD evaluation with cognitive performance testing — a thorough, data-informed process that goes beyond standard questionnaires. Learn more on my ADHD Evaluation page.
Regain control and accomplish what matters most.
Racing thoughts. Restless tossing. A mind that won’t quiet down and a body that won’t relax. If you’re struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling truly rested, you’re not alone — about 70 million Americans experience sleep disorders (source).
Rest doesn’t have to feel out of reach.
But looking at sleep patterns alone rarely tells the full story. I take a whole-person approach, examining stress, mood, hormonal shifts, lifestyle patterns, and potential medical causes. I begin with strategies that address the underlying drivers and naturally support your sleep. Medication is added only when necessary.
Whether you’re drained at work, overwhelmed at home, or stretched so thin there’s nothing left for yourself — I understand how burnout can leave you exhausted, disconnected, and wondering where you went. That constant mental, emotional, and physical fatigue makes even small tasks feel impossible.
Together, we’ll work to:
If you’re experiencing extreme emotional highs and lows that disrupt your daily life, these aren’t ordinary mood swings — they’re intense shifts that deserve clinical attention and compassionate care.
Together, we’ll:
You don’t have to struggle with these emotional ups and downs alone. With the right support, you can achieve greater stability and peace of mind.
You snap at your partner. Small things feel enormous. Your mind races, your body is tense, and your patience is gone. Over time, chronic stress chips away at your energy, focus, and joy — making it hard to be present in your own life.
Without stress, you:
Stress feels like carrying weights you can’t put down. I’ll help you unpack what’s overwhelming you and build practical, sustainable ways to manage stress — not just survive it.
PTSD is when a scent, sound, or sudden movement pulls you back into a moment you desperately want to leave behind. It’s waking in a cold sweat from nightmares that feel more real than your waking life. It’s your body reacting to danger that isn’t there anymore.
Healing begins when we:
We’ll work together at your pace. You don’t have to face this alone.
You question your abilities constantly. When you succeed, you assume it was luck. You overwork to prove your worth — and it’s leading to stress, anxiety, and burnout.
You’re not alone in feeling this way. And these patterns have identifiable contributors — anxiety, mood symptoms, stress physiology, perfectionism, and sometimes deeper roots that benefit from clinical support.
I want you to hear this clearly: your success is not accidental. It reflects real ability and real effort — even when your mind struggles to accept that. My role is to help you understand what’s fueling the self-doubt, address the patterns underneath it, and build sustainable confidence so you can show up fully without burning out.
Weight gain and metabolic changes aren’t always about willpower or eating habits. Stress, sleep, hormones, and emotional patterns all affect how your body responds — and it’s okay if you need help making sense of it all.
I take a gentle, personalized approach to weight and metabolic health. Together, we’ll look at what’s actually getting in the way, support sustainable habits, explore medication options when clinically appropriate, and address the mind-body connection that drives lasting change.
Starting school. Changing careers. Becoming a parent. Losing someone you love. Navigating illness. These transitions often bring stress, anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty — even when the change is something you chose.
Some days you may feel emotionally tender, mentally foggy, more anxious than usual, or simply not like yourself. That’s not weakness — it’s your mind and body adjusting to a new reality.
I offer compassionate, grounded support during life’s natural transitions — helping you find your footing, process what you’re feeling, and move forward with clarity.

When your body feels tense, heavy, or constantly tired, it’s natural to wonder if something deeper is going on. You might feel like your mind and body are speaking different languages — restless yet exhausted, wired yet numb. These experiences are real, and they’re connected.
How you feel physically and emotionally is deeply intertwined.
I take an integrative approach that connects the dots — supporting your whole self by identifying where the disconnect is happening and helping you restore balance. Your body and mind work together, even when they feel out of sync.
I know that deciding whether to take medication or adjust what you’re already on isn’t always easy. It’s a personal choice and should always feel like a partnership. When we work together, we’ll take time to explore what’s happening beneath the surface and decide if medication could be a helpful part of your healing.
When appropriate, medication can ease symptoms that feel heavy or overwhelming, giving you space to breathe and begin again. I also support individuals interested in safely managing weight concerns, using evidence-based options that care for both mind and body. My approach is thoughtful and always tailored to you.
Sometimes we just need a space to be fully ourselves, with no pressure to be “okay.” Supportive therapy is that space. It’s where you can talk through what’s on your heart and mind without judgment. It’s where healing conversations happen.
In our sessions, we’ll make sense of what you’re carrying, gently uncover the patterns that may keep you stuck, and explore tools that help you move forward with more strength, self-trust, and clarity. You don’t have to figure it all out alone—I’m here to support you, every step of the way.
I truly believe that healing doesn’t just happen in the mind—it happens in the body, and the spirit too. That’s why I offer holistic strategies to help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to yourself.
Whether we’re exploring mindfulness, deep breathing, or movement, we’ll work together to find practices that feel doable and restorative – not overwhelming. These simple tools can create profound shifts in how you move through daily life.
I’ve seen how small, intentional changes can lead to big transformation. But I also know how hard it can be to break out of old patterns – especially when you’re already feeling stretched thin. That’s where lifestyle coaching comes in.
We’ll take a compassionate look at your habits, routines, and stressors, and I’ll support you in making realistic changes that align with your values. Whether it’s creating boundaries, building in rest, or rediscovering what brings you joy, we’ll focus on what works for you, one gentle shift at a time.
What you eat isn’t just about fuel—it’s about care. Your relationship with food plays a powerful role in your mental and physical well-being, and I offer nutritional guidance supporting both.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution here. Together, we’ll explore how to nourish your body to support emotional balance, energy, and mental clarity—without shame or restriction. Just curiosity, compassion, and real support.
My approach to care is both grounded in science and guided by heart. I bring together evidence-based psychiatric tools with integrative strategies to support your whole self, mind, body, and soul.
Depending on your needs and goals, we use supportive therapy, behavioral strategies, mindfulness, or integrative wellness tools. What matters most is that we create a path that feels right for you – personalized, flexible, and rooted in connection.
