Dr. Onyeisi Ogbomeh

I'm Dr. Onyeisi Stephen Ogbomeh (Dr. Og), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), and U.S. Army veteran with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I provide compassionate, evidence-based virtual psychiatric care for patients of all ages across Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin.

My journey is one of resilience. Born into poverty in Nigeria, I worked as a bus conductor and construction laborer as a child to help my family survive. In 2007, I won the U.S. Visa Lottery and arrived in America with little more than hope. I started my healthcare career as a Certified Nursing Assistant and worked relentlessly to earn my DNP and multiple board certifications — all while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA.

I served as an Active Duty Family Nurse Practitioner in the U.S. Army, providing care to soldiers and their families. After my service, I faced my own mental health challenges — depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I'm currently in recovery and receiving treatment at my local VA hospital. This personal experience gives me a deep, lived understanding of what my patients go through, and it drives my commitment to providing the best evidence-based care available.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and memory concerns. My approach combines comprehensive evaluation, medication management, and ongoing support — all tailored to your unique needs. I believe healing happens through partnership, and I'm here to support your mental health journey with compassion, expertise, and respect.

You deserve to feel heard. Let's work together toward lasting wellness.

My approach to care is rooted in one core belief: healing happens through partnership. I don't just treat symptoms — I treat people. Every patient who walks through my virtual door (or logs into a session) deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported.

I bring a unique perspective to psychiatric care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and U.S. Army veteran, I've served in many roles. But my most profound qualification is my own journey. I've faced depression, anxiety, and PTSD — and I'm currently in recovery, receiving care at my VA hospital. I understand mental health from the inside out.

My approach includes:

✅ Careful listening and comprehensive evaluation — I take time to truly understand you.

✅ Evidence-based treatment tailored to you — I use proven methods, including medication management when appropriate.

✅ Psychotherapy and medication management — where appropriate, I integrate both for the best outcomes.

✅ Ongoing support and adjustments — I stay with you for lasting progress.

✅ Collaboration — I work with patients, families, and other providers.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and memory concerns. I welcome patients of all ages across Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin through virtual care.

You deserve a provider who gets it. I'm here to help.

Your first session with me is designed to be a welcoming, collaborative experience. I understand that meeting a new mental health provider can feel intimidating, so I work hard to create an environment where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard.

What to expect:

🩺 Introduction and rapport-building — We'll start by getting to know each other. I want to hear your story in your own words.

📋 Comprehensive evaluation — I'll ask about your symptoms, history, and any previous treatment to understand the full picture.

🎯 Goal-setting — Together, we'll identify what you want to achieve. Your goals drive our plan.

💊 Treatment planning — We'll discuss evidence-based options, including medication management when appropriate, and create a plan that fits your life.

❓ Questions and answers — I'll make sure you understand everything and feel confident in the next steps.

My goal is that you leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my practice — as a U.S. Army veteran recovering from my own depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I know firsthand how important it is to feel truly seen by your provider.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and memory concerns. I serve children, adults, and seniors across Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin through virtual appointments.

You don't have to face this alone. I'm here to help.
