Dr. Chinyere Chima

I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience. I started my healthcare career as a critical care nurse. I received my master's degree as a family nurse practitioner from the University of Cincinnati, a post-master's as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner from Liberty University in Virginia, and a doctorate in nursing from Frontier Nursing University. With my background in primary care and psychiatric mental health, I provide my clients with individualized holistic care, taking into consideration their physical and emotional health. I aim to deliver comprehensive and compassionate mental health care to each client.

My greatest strengths as a provider are informed by my diverse clinical background and years of experience. I love working with those with various mental illnesses, teenagers, adults, LGBTQ, and people from different cultures and religions. I am dedicated and passionate in my quest to offer solutions to clients that enable them to live full lives. I am a great listener, compassionate, and open-minded. I am passionate about empowering my clients to be solution-oriented, see beyond their challenges, and believe in themselves.

Our first session will be an introductory session aimed at understanding your journey to date. This will include a comprehensive review and evaluation of your medical, psychiatric, and social history, as well as your current symptoms and overall health. I also incorporate a functional medicine approach to help assess and address potential root causes of mental health concerns, including identifying possible nutritional or physiological imbalances. Collaboratively, we will assess your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan.
