Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Mesquite, TX

Hi, I’m Nathan, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas with 25 years of experience in Christian counseling. I earned my M.A. from Amberton University and my B.A. in Pastoral Counseling from Criswell College. As a multicultural therapist, I enjoy helping people from all backgrounds work through life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Hello! I’m Clifford Echabu, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health care. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported on their healing journey. My approach is collaborative and holistic—combining evidence-based treatment with open, judgment-free communication.

I have experience working in inpatient psychiatric care and community mental health settings, treating individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD/trauma-related concerns, ADHD, and substance-use challenges. I also focus on promoting emotional wellness, building coping skills, and empowering clients to take an active role in their care.

Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis or seeking ongoing support, I strive to create a safe environment where you can be your authentic self and work toward stability, resilience, and renewed hope. Together, we will build a personalized treatment plan that fits your life and your goals.

I came to counseling after having already completed a successful career and was looking for something different. I completed graduate school in Texas and have since become licensed in both Texas and Colorado. The majority of my work is in general counseling and I also work with couples and families. I have worked for University of Texas schools as well as for the University of Alabama. While working in the UT system schools I helped with veterans issues and transition to civilian life. During Covid I provided counseling for military families and first responders.

I am a seasoned counselor familiar with adolescents, issues of personal development, empowerment, issues about personal power, overcoming fear, and identifying values. I value honesty, courage, self-actualization and altruism. I have worked almost exclusively with males. I see the world from a male perspective because that's the point of view I have experienced life through. I have spent years in the gym. I am a musician, and I play out somewhere every week.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and a Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider. I have a masters degree in Social Work and a BA in Economics. Clients get my full attention and best effort.

I am experienced in evaluating risk of harm to persons. I know a lot about how people use and/or misuse power.

Family Psychiatric nurse practitioner for two years and see all types of patients.
