Adaora Gbanite

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience, and I specialize in men’s mental health, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and substance use challenges. My style is compassionate, existential, and growth-oriented—I believe healing is not just about treating symptoms, but about helping you reconnect with meaning, resilience, and balance. I offer therapy and medication management through secure telehealth across New York, and I want you to know that you’ll always be seen as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.

My approach blends evidence-based psychiatry with a philosophical lens. I often view symptoms as signals pointing to deeper truths, not just problems to be medicated away. I draw from CBT, existential therapy, and compassion-based practices, while also integrating holistic elements like sleep, movement, and relationships. I see care as a collaboration—you bring your lived experience, I bring clinical expertise, and together we find the path forward.

In our sessions, you can expect to feel heard, understood, and guided. I’ll take time to understand your story—your health, your relationships, your values—and we’ll create a plan tailored to you. You’ll leave with both insight and practical tools to help you reduce stress, improve focus, and strengthen resilience. Over time, my hope is that you gain not only relief from symptoms, but also a deeper sense of clarity, confidence, and personal growth.
