Initial consultations are conducted by our intake team rather than directly with a provider to ensure faster scheduling. During this brief call, our administrative staff will answer general (non-clinical) questions, collect basic information, and help match you with the most appropriate provider.

While you may request a specific provider, pre-appointment consultation calls with clinicians are not available. All clinical discussions, recommendations, and treatment planning will take place during your scheduled appointment.

This process allows us to prioritize direct patient care while offering timely access to services.

Clients can expect their first session with Dr. Stella Chinonyerem Nnabugwu to be welcoming, supportive, and focused on building a strong therapeutic foundation. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns, experiences, and goals.
