Meet Dr. Kwame Frimpong, MD

Psychiatrist | Addiction Specialist | Physician Leader

With over a decade of medical experience, I bring a uniquely broad and deep understanding of both mental and physical health.

• Trained in Ghana across multiple specialties including surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and women’s health
• Psychiatry Residency at Harlem Hospital Center (affiliated with Columbia University, New York City)
• Chief Resident, leading clinical teams and mentoring physicians
• Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (top program in Texas)
• Current Addiction Director at John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital in Fort Worth

I work at the frontlines of psychiatry and addiction care—treating complex cases daily, teaching physicians, and delivering results-driven, compassionate care.

Patients describe me as calm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in their success.

Being in this helping profession for 30 years and 20 years within therapy, my approach is based on an individual's needs. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have worked in almost every therapeutic arena. From outpatient, inpatient, individual, group to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, I gained experience in multiple avenues. I predominately specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy but also allow for a mutual approach to achieve your goals and needs within this therapeutic process. We will work together for success.

I believe that healing begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My own life experiences taught me the power of having someone who continues to show up with compassion, hope, and encouragement—even during life's most difficult moments. That experience inspired me to become a social worker and therapist, and it continues to shape how I care for every client I work with.

I have over 12 years of experience in mental health and social services and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the past three years, after practicing as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) for five years. Throughout my career, I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and individuals experiencing severe mental illness, trauma, homelessness, foster care involvement, school-related challenges, and major life transitions. My background includes school social work, crisis intervention, rehabilitation counseling, psychotherapy, case management, and program development, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the many factors that impact mental health.

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, family conflict, life transitions, stress, grief, trauma, communication difficulties, compassion fatigue, motivation, and coping with change. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build practical skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to tell you what to do—it's to walk alongside you, helping you recognize your strengths, overcome obstacles, and build the life you want with confidence and resilience.

I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.

I received my Ph.D. from UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a clinically focused school with significant access to psychological and medical training. I transitioned to private practice in 2018 in order to allow for deeper work with clients. I enjoy working with clients on a variety of issues, but identity, meaning-making, and life transitions are of particular interest.
