Hi, I'm Dr. Alice Ukaegbu and I'm an empathetic board-certified doctoral Mental Health Nurse practitioner. I support clients in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and New York. I have over 25 years of professional experience. I see patients with Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Schizophrenia & other Medical Issues. I am currently the CEO and provider for Adolice Medical PLLC in Silver Spring MD. My dedication to service and unmatched ability to listen to you allow me to build trust in each client. This means we'll be partners in your journey, and the outcome will be a happier, healthier you.
Clients will expect an introduction and explanation and the establishment of a comfortable and confidential environment. Initial assessment to understand the reasons for seeking help including mental health history and current symptoms or concerns. Review of assessment in order to m, make a decision. Collaborative identification of goals of treatment and development of plans for future appointments. Clients are to expect active listening, empathy, validation, and non-judgmental attitude.
As a provider, my greatest strengths include: active and reflective listening, empathy, flexibility, adaptability, effective communication, interpersonal skills, technical skills, and cultural competence.
As a practitioner, I am positioned to serve a range of clients across various demographics, ages, and presenting symptoms. Serving a diverse population of ages 18 years and above allows me to process clients' emotions, develop coping mechanisms, affirm supportive care, address cultural and societal factors that affect mental health, and provide specialized and individualized care to clients.
