As a queer-identified man of color, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and intersectionality. I care for my clients with empathy, cultural awareness, and a collaborative approach, creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to navigate your changes and grow.
My name is Jideofor Azie. I am a compassionate mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I have clinical experience working with diverse populations across a range of settings and draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based practices to tailor care to each individual's unique needs. I typically work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use challenges, schizophrenia, ADHD, life transitions, PTSD, and relationship challenges.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to assessment, medication management, and therapy. I consider biological, psychological, and social factors to tailor care to each person. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful approach combining medication, education, therapy, and coping strategies for well-being.
I understand that reaching out can feel like a big and sometimes uncertain step, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you move toward greater balance and well-being. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment—I would be honored to work alongside you.

I use coping skills such as deep breathing and exercise (especially walking) for recurrent anxious feelings. I try to inhale for about 5 seconds and exhale for 7 seconds- doing this technique helps my body shift toward a calmer state. I try to exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes- during exercise, I talk positively to myself (e.g. I can do it. I'm strong). Using motivation helps me achieve my goals and reduces my anxious feelings.

I have experience caring for populations with a wide range of mental health conditions in outpatient clinics, community mental health, substance use clinics, primary care, and telehealth settings. Prior to obtaining my nurse practitioner license, I worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, primary care, and mental health outpatient/inpatient settings.
As a PMHNP, I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, ADHD), medication management, patient education, and supportive care with evidence-based treatment.
I have a strong belief in treating individuals by considering biological, psychological, and social factors, partnering with patients on treatment plans that align with their goals.

With experience caring for adolescents and adults across diverse backgrounds, I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and collaboration, allowing each client to achieve meaningful and lasting change.
Hello, I'm Christian Nwofor, PMHNP-BC, licensed in Texas. I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy to adolescents and adults through telehealth and in-person settings. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, and other mood and thought disorders. Many clients come to treatment overwhelmed by stress, trauma, or life transitions—others seek greater stability, improved focus, or support in achieving their goals. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I combine medication management with supportive therapy and psychoeducation to help clients understand their symptoms. I incorporate CBT techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build resilience. My goal is to empower clients with practical tools for lasting growth.
Taking the first step toward treatment can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'm committed to a safe, supportive space where you feel heard. I believe healing and growth are possible for everyone, wherever you are. I welcome the chance to support you.

Browse providers online or call us and we’ll help you find someone who accepts your insurance and fits your needs. Pick a time that works for you and choose how you’d like to pay.
At your first session, share what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment. Together, you’ll discuss your options—including whether medication might be a good fit. If so, your provider can send a prescription directly to your local pharmacy.
Your provider will check in regularly to make sure your treatment plan is working for you and adjust as needed.
A stimulant is a class of medication that is primarily used to treat ADHD. This medication is classified as a controlled substance, meaning it has special requirements for prescribing and dispensing due to its potential for misuse.
Stimulants work by increasing the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. This is helpful to reduce severity and frequency of symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity and to improve overall functioning.
Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) is a stimulant medication FDA-approved to treat ADHD in adults and children ages six and older. Like other stimulants, methylphenidate is a first-choice medication for ADHD. The branded version Ritalin is also approved to treat narcolepsy, a condition characterized by extreme sleepiness and sudden falling asleep.
Methylphenidate is sometimes used off-label for other conditions, such as apathy (lack of goal-directed activity) in people with dementia.
Ritalin and Concerta both contain the active ingredient methylphenidate. The main difference is their formulation, which affects how quickly the medication is released after taking the dose.
Ritalin comes as an immediate-release tablet and an extended-release capsule (Ritalin LA). Concerta only comes as an extended-release tablet. While Ritalin LA and Concerta are extended-release versions of methylphenidate, they release the medication differently and cannot be substituted for each other. Both release a portion of methylphenidate immediately, but Concerta then releases the rest of the medication gradually, providing symptom control for up to 12 hours. Ritalin LA, on the other hand, releases this second portion four hours after the first.
Common methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) side effects include decreased appetite, weight loss, trouble sleeping, headache, nausea or stomach pain, dry mouth, anxiety, sweating, and a faster heart rate or heart palpitations.
More serious side effects are possible and include new or worsening psychiatric symptoms, circulation problems in the fingers and toes, painful prolonged erections, glaucoma, and slowed growth in children.
Talk to your provider about any side effects that bother you or affect your daily life. And seek medical attention for severe or concerning symptoms.
How long methylphenidate lasts depends on the formulation. Immediate-release Ritalin typically lasts a few hours, while Ritalin LA (an extended-release capsule) lasts around eight hours. Concerta is longer-acting and can provide symptom control for up to 12 hours.
These are estimates, and exactly how long the medication lasts can vary from person to person.
Methylphenidate can decrease appetite, which may lead to weight loss in some people. In children and adolescents, long-term stimulant treatment can also slow weight gain and growth. If you’re losing a significant amount of weight or having trouble eating enough, talk with your provider.
Methylphenidate is mostly gone from your bloodstream within about one day. Extended-release forms like Ritalin LA and Concerta continue releasing medication for several hours after you take them, so a dose takes a bit longer to fully clear than an immediate-release dose would.
This is different from how long the medication works. Immediate-release Ritalin may only improve ADHD symptoms for a few hours, while Concerta can work for up to 12 hours.
For drug testing, methylphenidate may be detectable for longer than that. In one study, it typically showed up in saliva tests for about 36 hours and urine tests for about 41 hours after a single dose.
Yes. Like other stimulants, methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) is a Schedule II controlled substance.
Schedule II medications have accepted medical uses but also a high potential for abuse. Because of this, methylphenidate has stricter prescribing and dispensing rules than noncontrolled medications.
Yes, you can often get a prescription online if your provider decides it’s clinically appropriate. Because methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) is a Schedule II controlled substance, there are specific telehealth requirements your provider will walk you through. If your state requires in-person evaluation, we can connect you with a local Thriveworks location or recommend other options.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts more than 360 insurance plans and most cover psychiatric services. You can check your coverage before booking, with no commitment required.
If you’re prescribed medication, whether that’s covered depends on your specific insurance plan. Coverage for prescription medications is separate from the coverage for psychiatric services, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to ask about your prescription drug benefits. Ask about any copays or deductibles that may apply to psychiatric medications, as well as any restrictions or prior authorization requirements.
Book a session with a licensed psychiatric provider at Thriveworks online or by calling us. At your first appointment, you’ll discuss your symptoms, treatment history, and goals. If medication is a good clinical fit, your provider will send a prescription to your local pharmacy.
