So nice to meet you!
As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe good mental health is paramount for a stable and happy life. Congratulations on taking the first step in seeking help for your mental health! I’ve been practicing for 3 years with my main focus now on female clients aged 15-55 who are struggling with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.
Dr. Chidimma Njoku, DNP, PMHNP- BC.
I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic mental health care. I specialized in helping adolescents and adults navigate conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Idaho State University. I forced my clinical training.

He also enjoys good humor, camping, gardening, sculpting, woodworking and time with his family.

Hi there, my name is Marilyn and I have 34+ years as an experienced licensed clinical social worker specializing in substance abuse treatment and bereavement and specialize in treating depression, adjustment disorders, and mental health related to health issues.
I hold both a bachelors and masters degree in social work.
I believe therapy should be a dynamic, collaborative process that yields real-world results. My practice is built on a foundation of academic excellence and specialized training, including a BA in Psychology from University of Southern California and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Utah.
My Therapeutic Toolkit: Evidence-Based & Proactive
I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I blend several powerful, evidence-based modalities to help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively:
- ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): A specialized approach for trauma and PTSD that uses eye movements to "reprogram" distressing memories and sensations, often providing relief in just a few sessions.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We will work together to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression.
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): I provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships—giving you a "manual" for navigating life's hardest moments.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Idaho
Searching for therapists in Idaho starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look closely at specialties before booking. You may want support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed focus areas, approach, and experience to see whether they match your needs.
Location and format can also shape your search. You may find in-person therapists near Boise, Idaho Falls, or Coeur d’Alene, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Idaho if local availability is limited. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions and communicates with the people they support.
The cost of mental health care in Idaho varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who take your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
