I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health. With a foundation in whole-person, evidence-based care, I integrate medical management with psychotherapy and lifestyle interventions to support mental and physical wellness.
My background spans outpatient psychiatry, primary care, home health, and assisted living settings, allowing me to understand the unique needs of patients across all stages of life. I have extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and chronic medical comorbidities that impact emotional well-being.
I believe in creating a collaborative, compassionate, and culturally sensitive environment where patients feel heard and empowered to take an active role in their care. My approach focuses on building balance—supporting both the mind and body—through medication management, therapy, and integrative care strategies.
Clients often describe therapy with me as grounding, validating, and clarifying. I provide a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself away, or have everything figured out.
We move at a pace that feels safe while still supporting meaningful and lasting change. My goal is for you to feel more regulated, confident, and emotionally secure—within yourself and in your relationships.
Hi, I'm Dr. Chigozie Jones Onuh, I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. Also. I'm a compassionate and skilled Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I serve clients across all ages and demographics. I have experience in treating clients with Depression, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Schizophrenia, Mood disorders, Substance use disorders, and other psychiatric related issues.
If trauma is still running your life, OCD has you trapped in cycles you can't break, or depression has left you feeling numb, stuck, and disconnected from the life you used to want—I want you to know: this can change, and you don't have to face it alone.
My path to this work started with my own mental health journey. I know what it feels like to struggle from the inside—and I know how life-changing the right support can be. That's exactly why I bring deep empathy, zero judgment, and evidence-based tools designed to create real, lasting change—not just coping, but building a life that feels like yours again.
I am a compassionate and dedicated LCSW with a deep passion for helping individuals navigate their unique mental health challenges and achieve lasting personal growth. I believe that every individual and relationship has the capacity for healing and transformation. I am experienced in working with individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, relationship conflicts, low self-esteem, and adjustment issues.
I provide psychotherapy to adults, young adults, children, women, and families in which I specialize in anxiety. As a therapist I diagnose and treat depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD and other mental health disorders.
I believe that getting better from a mental health disorder is not only possible, but realistic. I am here to guide you on that journey of healing. So that you can gain peace and continue to pursue your dreams and goals. When working with children I work with parents to provide play therapy, art therapy, and pet therapy
