Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.

I spent more than 15 years working as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient state mental health facility, which provided a strong foundation in managing complex mental health conditions. I am proud to have been one of the pioneers involved in establishing Youth Behavioral Health services, helping guide its successful accreditation and commitment to maintaining high standards of care.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I have advanced my practice working in both youth and adult inpatient behavioral health settings, including roles with UNC Youth Behavioral Health Hospital in Butner and UNC Johnston Health. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health disorders, conducting crisis assessments, and providing timely referrals for individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric, substance use, neurocognitive, or developmental challenges.

In 2018, I independently developed an alternative psychotherapy-based psychosocial treatment program to support patients in crisis at UNC Wakebrook, reflecting my commitment to innovation in mental health care.

I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families. My clinical strengths include psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, crisis stabilization, maintenance treatment and leadership, all of which guide my mission to improve mental health outcomes and support individuals on their path to recovery.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Durham

Finding the right OCD therapist in Durham starts with understanding the type of care that works best for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some people with OCD explore structured therapeutic approaches such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what may be appropriate. Not every therapist is trained in these methods, so looking for a provider who specializes in OCD rather than one who lists it alongside dozens of other concerns can make a meaningful difference. If medication management is also part of your care plan, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.

Durham's location in the Research Triangle means access to a strong network of mental health providers, many with ties to leading academic and medical institutions. Whether you're near Duke University, downtown Durham, or closer to Chapel Hill or Raleigh, you can find OCD specialists who offer both in-person and virtual appointments. Consider what matters most to you — a provider's experience with specific OCD subtypes, their therapeutic style, or appointment availability — and read their bio before booking.

Therapy in the Durham area can be costly without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most direct ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before your first appointment, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
