Hi, I’m Sabina Onwonga, DNP, a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from UMass Global University and my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from the University of Texas at Arlington.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and counseling support, helping clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to reach lasting stability and wellness.
Compassionate Care for all patients in a therapeutic and safe manner
Healing isn't linear and I understand that deeply, both professionally and personally. As a dual -certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and an attorney, I bring a unique, comprehensive perspective to care. But more than titles, I bring lived experience.
I know grief intimately. The pain I carried afterwards was unexplainable. It didn't fit into a neat diagnosis or timeline. That experience shaped not only how I show up for others but why I do my work.
Whether you are navigating the aftermath of a death, a medical diagnosis, a relationship rupture, or job loss, I offer a safe, grounded and trauma focused space. I help clients process complex emotions, rebuild self-trust, and gently move toward healing, at your own pace.
If you're carrying something heavy, you don't have to carry it alone. I'd be honored to walk with you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Pasadena, TX
Finding psychiatrists in Pasadena starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and help manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or relationship challenges. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, reviewing each psychiatrist’s specialties and background can help you choose a strong fit.
Pasadena is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby Houston. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a psychiatrist licensed in Texas. Psychiatric care often uses shorter, less frequent appointments than therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each profile for availability, appointment format, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Pasadena can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, takes your insurance details, and shows estimated session costs before you book. You can compare profiles, choose in-person or virtual care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
