About
I am a clinically experienced Nurse Practitioner with Compassion, Empathy, and Attentive listening Skills in treating and managing clients with various mental illnesses. I understand how mental illness affects clients and will use a holistic therapeutic approach to deliver quality care.
My name is Judith Uwazuruonye, DNP, APN, PMHNP-BC. I bring 22 years of RN experience, including four years as a psychiatric charge nurse and three years as a PMHNP-BC. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, eating disorders, conduct and oppositional defiant disorders, and adjustment disorders across the lifespan. I have a particular interest in adolescent care — teens navigating identity, stress, anger, and confusion need a provider who understands that stage of life. I provide culturally competent, patient-centered care across inpatient, outpatient, and correctional settings.
I use a holistic therapeutic approach that combines compassionate listening, psychoeducation, medication management, and individualized care plans. I am empathetic, a good listener, and committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel supported. My goal is to help each client make meaningful progress toward better mental health.
I am an experienced provider offering a holistic therapeutic approach and patient-centered care for the best quality results.

Witnessing the profound effects of untreated mental health on my loved ones' lifestyles deeply motivates me to offer support and help to those in need.
I am Noel Okon, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I began my journey as a psychiatric nurse in 1997, spent over two decades as a bedside nurse across diverse settings, and returned to school to earn my BSN in 2020 and my MSN in 2024, completing my PMHNP-BC certification that May. In February 2025, I transitioned to a psychiatric provider. I specialize in psychiatric evaluations, medication management, crisis intervention, and therapeutic support, with a particular focus on depression and anxiety. I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their mental health journey.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. My focus is on thoughtful medication management while helping clients understand their symptoms and options. Clients can expect to be active partners in their care, with plans adjusted as needed.
Reaching out can feel overwhelming, especially when you have been carrying pain or anxiety for a long time. If you feel exhausted, stuck, or not like yourself, you are not alone. My goal is to meet you where you are with compassion and understanding. Together, we will build a plan that supports your goals. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

When my client's follow up with me I want to know how they have been doing since the last time we met and if there were any changes. My approach is to be available as a psychiatric resource. We are living in a technological time where consumers have access to fast information but that information still has to be analyzed and applied. I enjoy helping people see things clearly and manage more simply.
I take a more holistic approach when it comes to prescribing medications because there are so many influences that can impact a person's mental health. I include my client in on the decision making process when prescribing medication. I find when my client's know the answer to the question “why should I take this medication?” They feel more in control which helps them get on the path to feeling better.
I know the client is making progress when they appear happier, are eating and sleeping better, their social interactions are improving, and they are getting on with pursuing their personal goals.
Client's usually benefit from improving on their diet, incorporating some type of exercise routine pattern, and engaging in a hobby.
To prepare for your first psychiatric session put together a list of any previous mental health diagnosis you may have received in the past, as well as, medications previously prescribed. If available know your family history of any mental health diagnosis. Be up to date with your primary care provider wellness check. The rest is going to be easy.
Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Cherry Hill, NJ specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Both. At Thriveworks in Cherry Hill, we offer online and in-person psychiatry services. This flexibility allows clients to choose the type of session that best suits their lifestyle and preferences.

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
