Assumpta Nwagwu

Hello,

My name is Assumpta Nwagwu. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience helping people ages 13 and up feel more like themselves again. I take the time to understand what you’re going through before we build a plan together. Whether we’re working through medication options or talking through what's been weighing on you, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and hopeful about the road ahead.

I specialize in treating clients with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders/manic-depressive illness, ADHD, ODD, OCD, and trauma.

I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to psychiatric care. I believe good care starts with truly listening. I work with a wide range of patients, from diagnostic assessments to medication management and ongoing support, always with an eye toward helping you build resilience and feel like yourself again. Together, we will explore the challenges you're facing and clarify the goals that matter most to you—whether you're looking toward the next few months or the year ahead. We'll work collaboratively to identify practical strategies and personalized solutions that align with your strengths, values, and circumstances.

During our first session, my primary focus is getting to know you—understanding what has brought you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll ask thoughtful, supportive questions to learn more about your personal history, strengths, relationships, and goals. This initial session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine whether the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit.

You can expect a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you are encouraged to share at your own pace. There is no expectation to discuss anything before you feel ready. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will develop an approach that aligns with your unique needs, values, and goals.
