About
I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey — because lasting healing starts with a relationship built on trust.
I am Dr. Chioma Ikedinobi, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of healthcare experience. After earning my PMHNP certification, I advanced my clinical practice through the VA North Texas Health Care System, where I developed deep expertise managing complex psychiatric conditions across diverse populations. I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, OCD, insomnia, grief, or life transitions. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, I am here to help you build a path toward lasting wellness.
My approach combines evidence-based medication management with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and lifestyle strategies. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and insomnia. You can expect thoughtful, collaborative care that is individualized and centered on your goals.
Seeking help takes courage, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether this is your first time reaching out or you've struggled for years, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can build resilience, restore balance, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Take the next step — you deserve to feel better.

In therapy, I believe that words can have deeper, often surprising meanings you aren't even aware of at first, meanings related to what you're going through, and it is my desire to help uncover those connections to facilitate your improvement.
My name is Josias Pincay. I received my master's degree in Psychology with a Clinical Concentration from the University of Dallas in 2025, a university whose emphasis on the phenomenological and psychoanalytic traditions of psychology provided a well-rounded foundation in approaching patients not as a cluster of symptoms, but as individuals with their own unique histories and ways of being in the world, and whose symptoms are latent with meaning and function (even if dysfunctional).
I lean strongly on the fundamentals of Lacanian psychoanalysis, focusing on HOW you talk about your life and problems to explore the underlying dynamics of a symptom or behavior. The aim is to spark curiosity and awareness of your own thoughts and actions, developing insight and ultimately dealing with the root of the problem rather than its branches.
Taking the step to truly discuss your SELF with someone else is a daunting step, but well worth it, and it is a commendable thing to seek help for yourself instead of staying stuck in the same patterns that have troubled you.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, stress-related conditions, and life transitions.
