Peter Oziegbe
Hello, I'm Peter, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in California with three plus years of practice and over a decade of experience working with people dealing with anxiety, substance use disorder, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, body dysmorphic disorder, and more. I bring genuine curiosity and compassion into every session, along with the clinical knowledge to help you make sense of what you're going through. "When we meet for our first session, we'll start with a relaxed introduction so we can get to know each other. From there, we'll build a plan that fits your specific needs, in a space grounded in mutual respect, cultural sensitivity, and zero judgment".
But what has change is a better understanding based on sophisticated knowledge to address the wide range of issues that my client are facing.
"My approach is shaped by more than ten years of experience with substance use, anger management, and relationship challenges, paired with a curiosity that keeps me learning. Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, and that feedback is what keeps me showing up with compassion and an open mind".
First session
In my first session we do have a general introduction. The client get to know me as I do know them as well. By doing so, helps to formulate the best plan that meets the individual need in an atmosphere free from fear and intimidation. I encourage mutual respect and cultural sensitivity.
Strengths
My curiosity to become Mental health Practitioner developed after 10 years of working with clients with Substance use disorder, anger management issues, and relationship problems. My compassion and attitude has not change. But what has change is a better understanding based on sophisticated knowledge to address the wide range of issues that my client are facing. So far, good reviews and feed back from my clients are just refreshing.
Ideal clients
I work with clients of all ages from 12 years to older adults.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Working with patients with major depression, bipolar disorder and other related mood disorder, severe anxiety, acute or chronic ptsd, and body dysmorphic disorder especially with anorexia. CBT do not only help identify the negative thoughts and behaviors, but change and replace them. A 12 week session with session(s) once a week or more for an hour. I do offer medication management depending on the severity of the symptoms.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I use this therapy mostly for client with ptsd with underlying traumatic experience like rape, child abuse ect. I use CPT to help client identify and challenge unhelpful belief that has formed a strong hold, and seek practical ways at replacing these thoughts with beneficial and healthy thoughts. These process helps the client begging the process of developing healthy thought life, that eventually replaces old unhealthy thoughts, with formation of new progressive, and functional belief system.
