You deserve care that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply personalized.

My approach is collaborative and holistic. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life - including stressors, relationships, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, diagnostic clarity, or a more integrative approach to healing, we will create a plan tailored specifically to you.

Clients often describe my style as compassionate, thorough, and grounded. I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and ensuring you feel informed and empowered about your treatment options. My goal is not simply symptom reduction - it is helping you restore balance, confidence, and a meaningful quality of life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will build a path toward emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall wellness.

Hi, I'm Dr. Umugbe — and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're going through.

I'm a board-certified General, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate some of the most challenging mental health conditions out there — psychotic disorders, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and more. I see patients via telehealth and also offer in-person visits in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Two decades in this field has taught me one thing above everything else: the best care starts with truly knowing the person in front of you. Not just their diagnosis — their story, their symptoms, how long they've been carrying this, and how it's affecting their daily life. That's always where I begin.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Finding the right psychiatrist in California starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.

California is home to a large number of mental health providers, but availability varies widely between cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento and more rural parts of the state. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or practices near where you live or work. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Psychiatry in California can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
