Ugochi Rufus

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of South Alabama and have several years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan in both inpatient and outpatient settings. This diverse experience has allowed me to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment plan.

My approach is collaborative and holistic. I take time to understand your unique story, strengths, and goals so we can develop a treatment plan that feels personalized and empowering. Whether through medication management, supportive therapy, or a combination of approaches, my goal is to help you achieve stability, clarity, and improved overall well-being.

Expect a warm, friendly, atmosphere, that sets a tone to build a collaborative relationship.
