The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Raymond Obiajulu is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. He completed his master’s degree program at Walden University. After his introduction to the key areas of nursing, he found that psychiatry comprised the exact sort of comprehensive and holistic healthcare that he wished to practice. Raymond has experience treating a wide range of conditions including but not limited to anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, and dementia. He incorporates an evidence-based approach in his practice with a focus on holistic mental health treatment.

Hi, I'm Adebusola, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a background in emergency and family medicine. I am passionate about patient-centered mental health care and creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and respected. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, stress-related conditions, and life transitions. I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships and partnering with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals and needs.

As a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience bridging physical and mental health, I believe that true healing begins when patients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported and that is the standard I bring to every single visit.
I am Ogo Ogbonna, a dual board-certified nurse practitioner in family practice (FNP-C) and psychiatric mental health (PMHNP-BC). I started my career as a registered nurse across medical-surgical and psychiatric settings — those years taught me healing is about the whole person, not just the body. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and the psychiatric impact of chronic illness, including patients whose unexplained physical symptoms have gone unresolved despite multiple evaluations. My dual training gives me the lens to see what others sometimes miss: the body and the mind are always in conversation.
My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care with real human connection — medication management alone is never the whole answer. I use a collaborative, trauma-informed framework focused on root causes, not surface-level symptoms. I build relationships grounded in trust and mutual respect, because progress requires feeling safe enough to be honest.
If you have been telling yourself you are too busy, too strong, or that others have it worse — I want to gently challenge that thought. Your pain is real, and you deserve the same care you give to everyone else. Healing does not require figuring everything out first. One courageous decision to show up is all it takes. I would be honored to help you get there

Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Supervisor (LCSW-S)
In The Woodlands, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our The Woodlands office or visit our pricing page to learn more.
Yes, Thriveworks The Woodlands accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.
We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).
Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in The Woodlands and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.
All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.
Thriveworks The Woodlands offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.
Most patients at Thriveworks The Woodlands see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our The Woodlands office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.
Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks The Woodlands can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.
Yes. Thriveworks The Woodlands offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
