Chris Mokongu
I’m Chris Mokongu, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing telehealth psychiatric care. I work with children ages 6 and older, adolescents, and adults, with a primary focus on ADHD evaluation and medication management.

My work emphasizes psychiatric assessment, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning to support improved focus, mood stability, and daily functioning.
I work with children ages 6 and older, adolescents, and adults, with a primary focus on ADHD evaluation and medication management.
I’m licensed to practice in Minnesota, Oregon, and North Dakota, and I aim to provide clear guidance, thoughtful care, and practical treatment that fits each client’s needs.
First session
The first session is a psychiatric evaluation focused on understanding symptoms, history, and how concerns are affecting daily functioning at home, school, or work. For adults, we’ll discuss focus, mood, stressors, sleep, and overall functioning. For children and adolescents, we’ll review developmental history, academic performance, behavior, and family concerns. With a primary focus on medication management, we’ll review diagnostic impressions, discuss treatment options when appropriate, and outline next steps. Time is set aside for questions, and decisions are made collaboratively. The goal of the first visit is clarity, safety, and establishing an effective treatment plan.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are clear assessment, thoughtful medication management, and collaborative decision-making. I bring over 10 years of mental health experience and focus on helping clients understand their symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options in practical, straightforward terms. I am experienced in diagnosing and treating the full range of mental health disorders, not just common presentations. Treatment is individualized, evidence-based, and adjusted based on real-world outcomes such as focus, mood stability, emotional regulation, and daily functioning, rather than symptom checklists alone.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to work with children ages 6 and older and adolescents who need psychiatric evaluation and medication management for ADHD, as well as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and other mental health conditions that affect school performance, behavior, emotional regulation, or daily functioning. I also work with adults seeking psychiatric care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related symptoms, and other mental health disorders. I am trained to diagnose and treat the full range of mental health conditions, and treatment plans are tailored based on age, symptoms, and clinical needs.
