Hi there, I'm Ibrahim!
I have over 5 years of experience as a mental health practitioner, working in outpatient clinics and inpatient psychiatric units. My primary focus has been on providing medication management and talk therapy to individuals with severe mental health issues, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc, starting age of 12 years to late adulthood. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment to help each client achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Please be advised that this online telehealth service does not initiate or prescribe controlled medications, such as benzodiazepines or stimulants, due to DEA regulations.
You’re used to holding it all together—but stress, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion may be catching up. I help high-functioning women navigate burnout, regain balance, and feel like themselves again. I provide collaborative psychiatric care including diagnostic clarification, medication management, and support to stabilize symptoms of burnout, anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I am Dr. Ete Kwegang, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, patient-centered care for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. Whether you're navigating a new challenge or managing a long-term condition, my goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and hopeful every step of the way.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy where you feel heard, respected, and involved in your treatment decisions. My goal is not only to treat symptoms but to help you build lasting wellness.
While providing care to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, if faith is important to you, I am happy to incorporate Christian values into your care when requested. Together, we'll work to improve your mental health, build resilience, and help you live a more fulfilling life.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Finding the right psychiatrist in Newark starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other prescribing clinicians can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy. Both can be valid starting points, depending on your needs. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and bio to see whether their experience matches what you want help with.
In a smaller city like Newark, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Some people prefer an office near Chestnut Hill, Laird, Elkton Pike, or nearby areas, while others look for virtual appointments that fit their schedule. Psychiatry visits, especially medication management appointments, are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and Headway verifies that the clinician is accepting new patients with your plan, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
