Hello, I’m Dr. Angela Otegbulu, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner licensed in California. I hold a Doctorate in Nursing and have 6 years of experience providing mental health care in outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings. I help adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, mood difficulties, trauma-related concerns, OCD, and other mental health conditions. I believe effective mental health care begins with listening. I take time to understand your symptoms, personal experiences, medical and mental health history, current medications, treatment goals, and how your concerns are affecting your everyday life. My approach is warm, collaborative, evidence-based, and non-judgmental. I want you to feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about your care. Together, we will develop an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, preferences, and goals.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We will discuss what brought you to treatment, your current symptoms, mental health and medical history, previous treatment experiences, medications, sleep, stressors, and treatment goals. After the evaluation, we will discuss your clinical needs and appropriate treatment options. When medication is appropriate, I will explain the potential benefits, risks, side effects, and alternatives so you can make informed decisions about your care. Depending on your needs, treatment may include medication management, individual therapy, psychoeducation, behavioral strategies, mindfulness, or other evidence-based interventions. My goal is for you to leave your first appointment feeling heard, understood, and clear about the next steps in your treatment. ADHD Care I provide comprehensive ADHD evaluation and individualized treatment for adolescents and adults. We will explore how attention difficulties, organization, executive functioning, motivation, emotional regulation, and other ADHD symptoms may be affecting your work, school, relationships, and everyday life. Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, medical history, treatment goals, and preferences. Depending on your needs, treatment may include medication management, behavioral strategies, psychoeducation, organizational skills, time-management techniques, and practical tools to improve focus and daily functioning. I also assess for conditions that may occur alongside ADHD, including anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and mood disorders, so that treatment addresses the complete clinical picture. ***If you feel that you may be at immediate risk of harming yourself or others, do not wait—contact emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room right away. The 988 Lifeline is available 24/7 for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or a mental health crisis.
I am an attentive listener who believes every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My clinical style is warm, empathetic, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel difficult, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where you can openly discuss your concerns. I work with each patient to establish realistic goals and develop an individualized treatment plan. My goal is to help you improve daily functioning, develop effective coping strategies, achieve greater stability, and improve your overall quality of life.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, stress, grief, sleep difficulties, or challenges with emotional regulation and daily functioning. I especially enjoy working with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure about where to begin. Whether you are seeking mental health care for the first time or looking for a different treatment approach, I strive to meet you where you are and work collaboratively toward meaningful improvement.

I use CBT-informed strategies to help patients recognize the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. These approaches can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with executive functioning.
DBT-informed techniques can help patients develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and practical coping skills.
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques can help patients manage stress, anxiety, difficult thoughts, and emotional distress while developing healthier coping skills. I help client to learn and develop coping skills such as deep breathing exercise, meditation, and relaxation tech to help manage her anxiety and stress.
I use motivational interviewing techniques to understand your goals, identify what matters most to you, and support your active participation in treatment decisions.
