Hello,
I believe prioritizing Mental Health is key to healthy living. I am a board certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 8 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. Admitting the need for help and taking the first step to finding help can be challenging. I commend you for that! My focus has been on teen's and adults struggling with anxiety and depression.
Many come to my practice looking for a provider who offers evidence‐based care, collaborative communication, and a safe space where they can feel genuinely heard and supported, often after arriving feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of the next step.
I believe mental health care works best when it is collaborative, respectful, and personalized.
I believe quality mental health care starts with feeling heard and respected. I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach and work to understand the whole person, not just symptoms. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while offering thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to each individual’s needs.
I'm Dr. Onyeisi Stephen Ogbomeh (Dr. Og), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), and U.S. Army veteran with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I provide compassionate, evidence-based virtual psychiatric care for patients of all ages across Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin.
My journey is one of resilience. Born into poverty in Nigeria, I worked as a bus conductor and construction laborer as a child to help my family survive. In 2007, I won the U.S. Visa Lottery and arrived in America with little more than hope. I started my healthcare career as a Certified Nursing Assistant and worked relentlessly to earn my DNP and multiple board certifications — all while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA.
I served as an Active Duty Family Nurse Practitioner in the U.S. Army, providing care to soldiers and their families. After my service, I faced my own mental health challenges — depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I'm currently in recovery and receiving treatment at my local VA hospital. This personal experience gives me a deep, lived understanding of what my patients go through, and it drives my commitment to providing the best evidence-based care available.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and memory concerns. My approach combines comprehensive evaluation, medication management, and ongoing support — all tailored to your unique needs. I believe healing happens through partnership, and I'm here to support your mental health journey with compassion, expertise, and respect.
You deserve to feel heard. Let's work together toward lasting wellness.

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 Illinois
Finding psychiatrists in Illinois starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose and prescribe through their licenses. Therapists provide talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want help with.
Illinois has a wide range of mental health professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options may vary depending on where you live. Someone in Chicago may have more nearby offices to compare, while someone in Springfield, Peoria, or Lake County may use virtual appointments to expand their choices. Psychiatric care often uses shorter, less frequent visits than therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their communication style before booking.
Psychiatric care in Illinois 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and other licensed prescribers who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse psychiatrists, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.
