I'm Dr. Amenaghawon Ugwuede, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in medication management. I've worked in various settings, including overseas, community mental health agencies, private practice, and county health departments. My passion lies in helping young adults, adult children of immigrants, and Black individuals. I am here to provide you with the highest quality of care, offering my empathetic understanding and support.

My approach to therapy

I'm acutely aware of the unfortunate realities many individuals face within the mental health field, which is why I'm committed to offering personalized, empathetic care that centers around well-being and autonomy. I believe in the power of collaboration and mutual respect, working together with my patients to craft treatment plans that honor their individual needs and preferences. It's essential to me that every person I work with feels seen, heard, and empowered in their healthcare journey.

What you can expect from me

I recognize the unique challenges that communities often encounter when seeking mental health support. I've dedicated myself to providing culturally sensitive and affirming care that fosters trust and understanding. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where my patients feel empowered to make informed decisions about their health, knowing that they have a compassionate ally by their side every step of the way.
