Chika Agina
Hi, I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) based in Texas. I received my qualifying degree in 2022 but prior to that, I have been a psychiatric nurse for many years before moving on as a provider. I provide services for patients struggling with their mood, depression, and anxiety.
Having worked as a psychiatric nurse for many years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress
I also provide psychotherapy for individuals and families.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored the treatment plan to your specific needs and give us materials to fall back on as treatment progresses.
