Clara Ugwuibe-Ugonna DNP
Hi! I am a board certified psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner in Georgia. I have practiced in the capacity of a psychiatric nurse practitioner for 7 years. I provide diagnostic psychiatric assessments, medication management, and add on Psychotherapy. I treat individuals struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, substance use disorders and women's health. I take care of individuals in their acute phase at the mental hospital and manage them after hospitalization in the community at the comfort of their homes. I see clients across from ages 7 through 99. At this time, I only manage ADHD using approved non stimulants. I do not prescribe STIMULANTS due to State restrictions and rules.

First session
In our first session, we will get to know each other. We will share important information about your struggles. I will complete a diagnostic assessment by taking your history of what happened in the past, what is happening now, any family history, medications you have taken, what you are allergic to. If we have enough information, We will formulate a diagnosis, develop a treatment plan and prescribe medications. I will educate and refer individuals if their needs are beyond what I can manage.
Strengths
I listen attentively to everyones story. I treat everyone with respect and I am very compassionate. I utilize my educational, clinical and personal life experiences to take care for my clients.
