Uchenna Ekeabu

Hello, I’m Dr. Uchenna Ekeabu, a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with a special interest in the evaluation and treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As a member of APSARD—the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders—I remain committed to evidence-based, current, and individualized ADHD care.

I work with children, adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing ADHD symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, disorganization, impulsivity, procrastination, emotional dysregulation, poor time management, and challenges at school, work, or home. Because ADHD can occur alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep difficulties, and other behavioral health concerns, I provide comprehensive evaluations that consider the whole person—not just a list of symptoms.

Through compassion-focused care, I help individuals reduce self-criticism, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves. My person-centered approach emphasizes empathy, authenticity, collaboration, and practical strategies that support meaningful and sustainable change.

In addition to psychotherapy and supportive interventions, I provide medication management when clinically appropriate. We will work together to evaluate your treatment needs, discuss the potential benefits and risks of medication, monitor your progress, and adjust the treatment plan as needed. For individuals with ADHD, care may also include support with organization, executive functioning, emotional regulation, school or workplace challenges, and appropriate accommodations.

I also provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.

My philosophy as a Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner revolves around delivering compassionate, and patient-centered care while actively collaborating with patients and fellow healthcare professionals. My continuous pursuit of knowledge and diverse expertise, combined with my strong leadership and communication skills, enable me to optimize patient well-being and contribute significantly to the overall success of healthcare organizations and my community.

Clients should expect compassionate care that is non-judgemental. I believe that clients should play a key role in their treatment. Clients will be heard and supported towards a recovery path that encourages their participation. Clients spirit, body and soul are all important. I deliver evidence-cased care to patients. A combination of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy would yield optimum results to my patients.
