My name is Obehi Etinfoh (Pronounced: Obey-he), and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. It is a privilege to serve the community where I grew up and to provide quality mental health care to individuals across the state of Texas.

I offer compassionate, patient-centered psychiatric care for individuals ages 18 and up. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD, with a particular focus on supporting clients through life transitions and emotional challenges. My care is rooted in evidence-based medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation, all tailored to meet each person’s unique needs.

What sets me apart as a clinician is my ability to build genuine, trusting connections with my clients. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where meaningful healing can begin. I am passionate about empowering individuals to explore their inner selves—healing inward to confidently move forward. With over a decade of experience in mental health nursing and a deep commitment to serving my community, I walk alongside my clients with empathy, insight, and unwavering support.

I provide Telehealth services for Texas based clients, and I offer flexible times to meet your needs.

I'm a relational therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world. I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative.

To heal & move forward you first need to feel seen & heard. I listen deeply to carefully integrate different therapeutic approaches based upon what the individual or family needs from me. The human brain is hardwired for relationship & connection, so I work hard to build a safe space for us to explore, learn, & grow together.

There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health. Get in touch for a free 20m consultation & let's get started.

Maybe you are struggling in a relationship that seems exhausting. You can never seem to get anything right or make anything work. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of powerlessness and anxiety, where everyone wants something from you, but you don't seem to be getting what you want or need from them. Maybe you are having trouble connecting and feeling a sense of emptiness or loneliness. I can help you make sense of what's going on and how to find your way to the other side of this.

I graduated from UMHB with my M.A. in Counseling in 2023 and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2025. I have worked with children, teens, and adults for the last 2 years and have had a passion for group therapy as well.

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
