Great to meet you!

If ADHD, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, stress, or emotional burnout is affecting your life, you do not have to manage it alone.

I am Chinyere “CeCe” Iwuagwu, a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth psychiatric care to adolescents and adults throughout California. I offer psychiatric evaluations, ADHD evaluations and treatment, medication management, and supportive mental health care.

I work with college students, professionals, parents, healthcare workers, military families, and individuals who often put others before themselves. My patients may experience racing thoughts, poor concentration, excessive worry, panic, depression, low motivation, mood changes, sleep difficulties, or emotional exhaustion.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized. I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, medical and psychiatric history, concerns, and goals. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan focused on symptom relief, improved functioning, and emotional wellness.

When medication is appropriate, I provide evidence-based psychiatric medication management, education, and ongoing monitoring. I believe patients make better treatment decisions when they understand their options, feel heard, and actively participate in their care.

Whether you are seeking ADHD evaluation and treatment, anxiety or depression treatment, PTSD care, OCD or bipolar disorder treatment, or medication management, my goal is to help you gain clarity, improve functioning, and feel more like yourself again.

FMLA and California EDD disability forms may be completed for an out-of-pocket fee following adequate evaluation and when clinically appropriate.

You do not have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to psychiatric care is collaborative, compassionate, and patient-centered. I take time to understand your symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, lifestyle, concerns, and treatment goals rather than focusing only on a diagnosis.

When psychiatric medication is appropriate, we will discuss medication options, expected benefits, potential side effects, and alternatives so you can participate actively in treatment decisions. I provide medication management for conditions including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and other mood disorders. I also incorporate supportive therapeutic strategies, coping skills, stress management, and lifestyle considerations into treatment when appropriate.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and involved in your psychiatric care. Whether you are seeking your first psychiatric evaluation, ADHD evaluation and treatment, help with anxiety or depression, medication management, or continued management of an existing psychiatric condition, we will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan.

My goal is to help you achieve greater emotional stability, improve daily functioning, understand your medications and treatment options, and feel more confident managing your mental health.
