I worked over 20 years in several corporate, nonprofit and government settings prior to becoming a licensed therapist. I received my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at City University of Seattle. During my internship I worked with a county mental health agency serving seriously mentally ill clients for six years. In addition, I have completed extensive training and received certification in both Crisis Counseling and Grief Counseling. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC).

I’m Dr. Emem Nkanga, Doctor of Nursing Practice. I believe that everyone deserves a personalized and compassionate approach to mental health care. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, with a focused dedication to psychiatry over the past 4 years. My passion lies in supporting mental health and emotional well-being.

I work with children ages 10 and above, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, and more.

I believe therapy should feel less like performing and more like finally being able to exhale. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and rooted in genuine human connection. I specialize in psychoanalytic and narrative therapy, helping clients explore the deeper patterns, relationships, experiences, and stories that shape how they move through the world. Together, we work to uncover the “why” beneath recurring emotions, behaviors, relationship dynamics, and internal conflicts while also rewriting narratives that no longer serve you.

After serving Combat Veterans throughout Central Texas for many years, I decided to move closer to my family and establish my current practice serving clients in a private practice setting in Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Master of Science in Social Work and come to my practice with over 19 years of experience in diagnosis & treatment of mental disorders. I am certified in Prepare Enrich for pre-marital & married couples, Gottman Trained & EMDR Trained.
