Great to meet you!

Are anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, panic attacks, trauma-related symptoms, or difficulty sleeping making it harder to manage work, relationships, or everyday life? You don't have to navigate these challenges alone.

I'm Myra Gaius-Anyaegbu, a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy as part of psychiatric care through telehealth throughout Texas. I work with clients across the lifespan, with a particular interest in helping adults improve their mental health, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.

I believe seeking help is a sign of strength. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I provide psychiatric care for conditions including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD/ADD, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, PTSD, OCD, and sleep disorders, including insomnia.

I have more than 10 years of experience in behavioral health and have worked in outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, corrections, and partial hospitalization programs (PHP). These experiences have allowed me to work with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Nebraska Wesleyan University and my Master of Science in Nursing, specializing in Psychiatric and Mental Health, from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing and board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

My approach to therapy

I take a compassionate, individualized approach to psychiatric care. I believe effective treatment begins with listening and understanding the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis or individual symptoms.

My approach may include comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnostic assessment, evidence-based screening tools such as the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scales, medication management, and supportive therapy as part of psychiatric care.

I work collaboratively with each client to identify treatment goals, discuss available treatment options, and develop an individualized treatment plan based on their symptoms, needs, preferences, and circumstances.

During follow-up visits, we will monitor your progress, evaluate symptoms and medication effectiveness, discuss any concerns or side effects, and make adjustments to your treatment plan when appropriate.

My goal is to help you better understand your mental health, reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, and work toward a healthier and more fulfilling quality of life.

What you can expect from me

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, unmotivated, unable to sleep, or simply stuck and unsure of what to do next?

Your first appointment is an opportunity to share what you've been experiencing in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment. We will discuss your current concerns, symptoms, mental health and medical history, medications, and treatment goals.

I will complete a comprehensive psychiatric assessment and, when appropriate, use standardized screening tools to better understand your symptoms. Together, we will discuss your concerns and treatment options and develop an individualized plan based on your needs and goals.

Depending on your situation, treatment may include medication management, supportive therapy as part of your psychiatric care, or a combination of approaches.

Follow-up appointments provide an opportunity to monitor your progress, discuss changes in symptoms or medications, address concerns, and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel difficult, but you don't have to take that step alone. I look forward to supporting you on your mental health and wellness journey.
