Process loss and change with grief counseling

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.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and hold a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) with over 15 years of psychiatric nursing experience across inpatient, outpatient, and crisis management settings. My practice is rooted in providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic psychiatric care tailored to each individual's unique journey. I work with adults and teens navigating a wide range of mental health challenges.

My clinical style is grounded in collaboration, empathy, and communication. I believe healing happens when care addresses the whole person, not just symptoms. While my primary focus is medication management, I strongly advocate for comprehensive treatment. I partner with therapists and providers to ensure your care aligns seamlessly.

Taking the first step toward mental health support is a courageous decision, and you don't have to navigate it alone. You deserve a supportive provider who truly listens and meets you with empathy, clarity, and respect. I welcome you to reach out and schedule your initial consultation.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. I completed my Master’s of Social Work at Boston College. I am passionate about assisting clients in identifying and utilizing their strengths while developing additional insights and skills to address life’s challenges and appreciate moments of joy. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental-health settings and specializes in depression, anxiety, major life transitions, grief, and trauma.

I draw on multiple treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness and self-compassion to help clients appreciate their strengths, develop additional coping skills, and hold onto hope.

I am here to meet you where you are at and support you along your journey. I applaud you for considering pursuing therapy and invite you to take the next step and schedule an initial appointment.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I create a safe, supportive environment for healing and growth. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Winston-Salem State University in 2007 and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Behavioral Addictions from North Carolina A&T State University in 2012. Over 18 years, I've gained diverse experience across mental health settings. If you're facing a life shift, know you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here when you're ready to start.

Healing begins by reconnecting to what matters most. When facing pain or change, I help you slow down, listen inward, and release patterns that no longer serve you. I work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My approach is collaborative. Healing happens when you feel safe and supported. We build strategies toward the life you want.

If you're ready to explore healing and growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion. You don't navigate this alone. Your experiences deserve space to be held deeply with care and respect. When ready, please schedule an appointment. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentically yours.

I've worked in mental health for almost 20 years. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a Bachelor's in Psychology and earned a Master's in Professional Counseling from Lipscomb University. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience providing individual and family counseling in Tennessee and Alabama. I work with clients dealing with life changes, and self-doubt. Common challenges include anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and past trauma. Client goals typically involve finding emotional balance, building healthy boundaries, and improving communication to achieve personal clarity.

Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to share feelings. You'll learn practical tools to change negative thought patterns, cope with daily stress and life changes, and improve relationships. Sessions include active listening, clear practice steps, and honest feedback to track your growth.

Taking the first step takes courage. Your feelings are valid, you don't have to carry this alone, and healing is entirely possible. You deserve a nonjudgmental space where your voice is heard and experiences are honored. Together we can work through life's challenges, build your resilience and create a fulfilling path forward.
