Steven Dabbs

Steven Dabbs

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to function the way you want to. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, parenting concerns, or the impact of past experiences, you don't have to face it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support, healing, and practical tools to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after years of trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel understood and empowered. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and a more balanced life.

Hi, I’m Ngozi Kalu, PMHNP-BC, AGNP-C, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner serving clients across Texas. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adults and teens, helping them regain balance and confidence in their daily lives.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and sleep disorders, and other mental health disorders. I also work closely with patients and their families to create treatment plans that fit their unique goals. My approach combines thorough psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive counseling to help you feel better, think clearly, and live with purpose.

Many of my patients come to me when life feels overwhelming, relationships are strained, or focus and motivation seem out of reach. Together, we identify what’s getting in the way and build a clear, personalized path forward.

I believe healing happens when care is collaborative, respectful, and accessible. That’s why I offer flexible scheduling and accept insurance through Headway so you can get started without delay.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to partner with you in your journey toward wellness.
