Great to meet you!

Welcome to RestoraVive Mental Health & Wellness. I’m Santria Chineme, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of RestoraVive.

I created RestoraVive around the belief that where you are mentally does not have to be where you remain. Sometimes you know exactly what has changed; other times, you simply know that you haven’t felt like yourself. My role is to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and determine what treatment can help you move forward.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, sleep concerns, and life transitions. My approach combines thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, therapy, and practical strategies tailored to you, not just your diagnosis.

I believe effective mental health care should do more than quiet symptoms. It should help you regain what mental health challenges may have disrupted; clarity, stability, confidence, functioning, and a sense of direction.

That is the heart behind RestoraVive: Restore. Renew. Revive.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. I take time to understand the full picture, not only your symptoms, but the experiences, patterns, stressors, and everyday factors that may be contributing to them. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s going on and create a treatment plan that feels practical and purposeful. This may include medication management, therapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination of approaches. I want you to understand your treatment, feel comfortable asking questions, and have an active voice in the decisions we make. My goal is not simply symptom relief, but helping you build greater stability, clarity, and confidence in managing your mental health.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, calm, and supportive environment. I’ll get to know you, your story, what you’re struggling with, and what you hope to feel better about. We’ll talk through your goals and create a simple, clear plan together, which may include therapy strategies, lifestyle recommendations, and medication options if appropriate. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and hopeful with a clear sense of direction for your mental wellness journey.
