About Me

As Dr. Uche Uka, a Board-Certified PMHNP, I offer personalised mental health support. With a decade of experience, including seven years specialising in this field, I compassionately guide clients. My approach thoughtfully integrates medication and therapy. This combined care is designed to enhance your well-being. It provides tailored support that respects your individual needs. I can help you or a loved one navigate challenges towards improved mental health.

Approach

When we meet, sessions begin with a focused check-in that shapes a shared, practical plan—balancing treatment adjustments with structured therapeutic work. I see clients in Houston or online in English, keeping sessions paced to fit school, work, or family demands and using short assessments and psychometric feedback to guide decisions. Between visits I offer goal-focused coaching, brief CBT exercises, and clear medication follow-ups so progress is trackable. This way of working tends to suit adolescents, adults, and families seeking steady, collaborative care.
