Dr. Olivier Djoumessi
Are you struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, addiction, or insomnia? I am a dedicated, compassionate provider board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focused on helping you overcome personal challenges and achieve lasting wellness.
My strengths include patience, active listening, and empathy, along with extensive knowledge in ADHD assessment and available treatment alternatives.
I earned my doctorate from the University of Texas at Arlington and has dedicated over 14 years to clinical specialization in psychiatry. I believe that collaborative care, where patients actively participate in their treatment plans, yields the best outcomes. Your mental health is my priority. My availability is 7/7, and some days after hours until 9 PM. I offer more scheduling flexibility for working people.
First session
Please complete your intake form in advance. During our first visit, I'll conduct a full mental health assessment with questions about your medical and mental health history. Together, we'll work toward an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, which may require multiple appointments.
Strengths
I combine medication management with supportive therapy, treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, psychoeducation, and motivational interviewing, I tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs and empower you as an active participant in your care. My strengths include patience, active listening, and empathy, along with extensive knowledge in ADHD assessment and available treatment alternatives. I create a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. My empathetic, collaborative approach balances expertise with emotional intelligence. Through psychoeducation and active listening, I build mutual trust and respect, helping you feel comfortable and empowered to achieve your goals.
Ideal clients
Who I work best with My ideal client is someone who's ready to be an active partner in their own care — not necessarily someone with everything figured out, but someone willing to show up, be honest about what's going on, and try things even when progress feels slow. Common concerns I see: - Anxiety, depression, or mood instability that's interfering with work, relationships, or daily functioning - A history of trying medication or therapy before without feeling like it "clicked" - Complex presentations — overlapping diagnoses, trauma histories, or medical and psychiatric issues that intersect - Feeling dismissed or rushed by previous providers, especially around medication concerns or side effects - Life transitions — postpartum, career stress, relationship changes — that have destabilized their mental health Mindset that tends to lead to the best outcomes: - Willingness to be honest, even about things that feel uncomfortable to say out loud (missed doses, substance use, symptoms they're embarrassed by) - Patience with a process that isn't always linear - Wanting to understand why a treatment works, not just be handed a prescription Goals I hear most often: - Wanting to feel like themselves again, not numbed or "fixed," but functional and present - Wanting sustainable stability, not just symptom suppression - Wanting to be treated as a whole person — someone whose sleep, relationships, work, and physical health all matter to their mental health picture - Wanting a provider relationship that feels collaborative, not transactional I do especially well with clients who've had complicated psychiatric histories or multiple past treatment attempts, since a lot of my clinical work involves untangling complex medication regimens, drug interactions, and overlapping diagnoses to find what's actually helping versus what's just adding noise.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
I draw on several approaches depending on what you need in the moment — motivational interviewing to help you find your own reasons for change, CBT to identify and interrupt patterns of thought and behavior that keep distress going, and supportive therapy to help you stabilize during hard stretches. All of it is grounded in compassion: I want you to feel safe being fully honest with me, because that's what makes real change possible. I create a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. My empathetic, collaborative approach balances expertise with emotional intelligence. Through psychoeducation and active listening, I build mutual trust and respect, helping you feel comfortable and empowered to achieve your goals. My practice is about managing symptoms and nurturing resilience so that you can lead a fulfilling life. Utilizing a holistic approach, I combine therapy, medication management, and lifestyle modifications to support patients on their journey to recovery.
