Myra Gaius-Anyaegbu
My name is Myra Gaius-Anyaegbu, and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing, with a specialty in Psychiatric-Mental Health, from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am licensed to provide psychiatric services in Texas, Arizona, and Washington and provide care through telehealth. I have more than 10 years of experience working in behavioral health and have cared for individuals in outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, corrections, and partial hospitalization programs. These experiences have strengthened my ability to work with individuals with diverse mental health needs and provide thoughtful, individualized care.
I aim to decrease the stigma associated with mental health by encouraging and assisting you to take charge of your health, not just physically but mentally as well.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe mental health care should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing your concerns. I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy as part of psychiatric care. My goal is to understand your concerns, develop an individualized treatment plan, and support you in improving your mental health and overall quality of life. I work with adolescents and adults, with a particular focus on adult mental health, and provide telehealth services throughout Texas, Arizona, and Washington.
First session
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and for you to share what you have been experiencing in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. We will discuss your current concerns, symptoms, mental health and medical history, medications, and treatment goals. I will also take time to answer your questions and make sure you understand your treatment options. Together, we will work toward developing an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, concerns, and goals. Depending on your situation, this may include recommendations for medication management and supportive therapy as part of your psychiatric care. Follow-up sessions give us an opportunity to assess how you are doing, monitor your response to treatment, discuss any concerns or side effects, and make adjustments when appropriate. My goal is for you to feel heard, informed, and actively involved in decisions about your care.
Strengths
I bring more than 10 years of behavioral health experience and a compassionate, individualized approach to each session. I believe in listening without judgment and creating a safe environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns, asking questions, and participating in their care. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, corrections, and partial hospitalization programs (PHP). Working in these diverse settings has allowed me to care for individuals with a wide range of mental health concerns and has strengthened my ability to assess each person's unique circumstances and needs. I understand that no two people experience a mental health condition in exactly the same way. I take time to consider your symptoms, history, current circumstances, goals, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I strive to explain treatment recommendations clearly so you can make informed decisions about your care. I also believe that a strong provider-client relationship is an important part of effective psychiatric care. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, supported, and comfortable being honest about how you are doing. I will work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that is appropriate for your needs and to make adjustments as your needs change.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, with a particular focus on adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, panic, PTSD, OCD, or sleep difficulties. Some may feel overwhelmed, stuck, unmotivated, or unlike themselves and are looking for support and a clearer path forward. My ideal client is open to understanding their mental health, exploring treatment options, and working collaboratively toward meaningful improvements in their well-being and daily life.
