About
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.

As a board-certified mental health nurse practitioner, I draw on extensive clinical experience to provide evidence-based, culturally informed care tailored to each client’s unique needs.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 11 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns. I offer a calm, collaborative space where you can feel respected, understood, and empowered. My approach blends evidence-based care, medication management, and compassionate dialogue to help you build clarity, strengthen stability, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. My work integrates evidence-based psychotherapy, patient-centered collaboration, and thoughtful medication management. I help clients stabilize their mood, understand their symptoms, and develop healthier patterns through practical tools that support sustainable emotional well-being.
Reaching out for support is an act of strength, and you deserve a space where you feel heard and supported. My goal is for you to leave each session with clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of balance. When you are ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment so we can begin this work together and take the next step toward healing and stability.

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
