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.
Licensed Private Counselor, MS, MEd., LPC, EMDR Trained
I am a Licensed Private Counselor serving clients in Texas. I believe all experiences in our lives whether good or bad can help a person grow by equipping themselves with knowledge and skills to better understand who they are as a person. All information about a person is important and can be used as a steppingstone toward wholeness and healing. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and people with special needs.
For those who value efficiency. My approach is direct, strategic, and results-driven.
You are driven, smart, and successful. Something is keeping you stuck. Let’s investigate and make real progress. I work a little differently. Direct feedback, thoughtful goals, and therapy that is intentional, not endless.
I am an advanced practice registered nurse who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and supporting individuals with psychiatric and behavioral health conditions. Combining clinical expertise with a holistic, person‐centered approach,











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Nacogdoches starts with identifying what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions — and look for a licensed provider who specializes in those areas. Common license types in Texas include LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), and psychologist. If you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
Nacogdoches is a close-knit East Texas community, and local provider availability can vary. Virtual sessions expand your options by connecting you with licensed Texas providers who may not be located in Nacogdoches but can see you from home. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, areas of focus, and whether they feel like a good match.
Therapy in Nacogdoches can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
