Hello! My name is Udo Chukwuocha, a doctoral prepared nurse practitioner with specialties in psychiatric mental health and family practice. I believe mental health is fundamental to overall health and wellness, and I would love to partner with you to maximize your well-being. I work with individuals ages 16-65 in TX, CA, & WA. Specializing in caring for the mental health of college-age/young adults, BIPOC, and healthcare workers, I offer personalized care to help you navigate mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, insomnia, PTSD, and ADHD. My holistic approach combines evidence-based medication management, supportive therapy, and lifestyle changes to build long-term stability and resilience. Together, we'll create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. IMPORTANT: I DO NOT prescribe stimulant medications in the state of Texas. However, we can discuss and prescribe non-stimulant options for ADHD.

If you are not ready to consider medication at this time, you should match with a therapist for therapy only. *** I look forward to meeting with you to see how I can assist you in your wellness journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Your wellness is my priority; therefore, it is important to me that I create a comfortable and welcoming environment from the initial visit to any necessary follow-up care. It is my goal to provide you with the best information to allow you to make an informed and comfortable choice for yourself, whether that is incorporating medication into your treatment or not. My hope is that you leave every visit feeling like your concerns have been heard and addressed, you are well-informed, and confident that your mental health and overall wellness are moving in the right direction. During your initial visit, I will be attentive to your concerns, evaluate your condition, and gather any necessary information to address the reason for the visit. I will then determine appropriate diagnosis, and collaborate with you to create treatment plan that’s best for you needs. IMPORTANT: Intake forms and assessments are required out of respect for my treatment process. Please do not book with me if you are not prepared to complete these forms soon after making your appointment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I partner with clients to understand the root causes of their mental health challenges, considering biological, psychological, and social factors. Together, we create tailored treatment plans that combine medication with supportive therapy and lifestyle adjustments. Open and honest communication is essential to our work.
