I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment
Hi, and welcome! I am Joy Nnebe, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am thrilled you’re considering working with me.
I have 8 years of experience in psychiatric/mental health nursing, and I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and more, using approaches like CBT therapy and trauma-informed care. I aim to provide simple, non-judgemental, supportive, and personalized care to help you feel understood and empowered on your mental health journey.
Whatever's brought you here — depression that's hard to shake, anxiety that won't quiet down, the weight of past trauma, the ups and downs of bipolar disorder, or strain in your closest relationships — you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 28 years of experience, and I've spent that time helping individuals, couples, and families find their way through life's hardest stretches.
My specialties include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and trauma, along with deep experience in relationships, family dynamics, child development, and parenting. After nearly three decades in this work, very little feels too big or too complicated to bring into the room — and I'll meet you with both warmth and the honesty that real change requires.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. Since graduating in 2021, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples in community mental health and outpatient settings.
I became a therapist because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m passionate about helping others better understand themselves, work through challenges, and become the best versions of themselves. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and create a life that feels fulfilling and authentic to them.
I have experience supporting clients navigating depression, anxiety, mood and personality disorders, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and general life stress. I believe therapy should be a space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard.
My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from modalities including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR. I work alongside clients to better understand patterns, build coping skills, improve relationships, and create meaningful change aligned with their goals and values.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help people with anxiety or depression develop skills to feel grounded and in control. I provide evidence-based, personalized care in a supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered.
Hi, I’m May, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I’m here to help you feel like yourself again. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. I provide medication management along with tools to support better mood, sleep, focus, and daily functioning. I take time to listen and understand your experience so we can create a plan that fits your needs. With a background in both mental health and special education, I bring patience, empathy, and a commitment to meeting you where you are. If you’re ready for support, I’d be honored to work with you.
If you're feeling stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed by your own thoughts, or unsure how to move forward, you're in the right place. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and ongoing life stress. A lot of the people I see are looking for clarity, relief, and practical ways to handle what they're going through. Together we'll break things down so they actually make sense and build skills you can use in real life, not just in session, so you leave with a clearer path forward that fits what matters to you.


Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right provider for ADHD in Oakland starts with understanding what kind of support you're looking for. A therapist who specializes in ADHD can help with building structure, managing time, and working through patterns that affect daily life. If you're also considering medication management, a psychiatrist may be a good fit. Many people benefit from working with both.
Oakland and the surrounding East Bay have a strong community of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider experienced with adult ADHD, someone who offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or a clinician available for virtual sessions. Reading provider bios can give you a sense of their style and specialties before you reach out.
Therapy in Oakland can be expensive without insurance, but in-network coverage can significantly reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an ADHD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
