Hi, I'm Adaobi — a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in nursing and outpatient mental health care.
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, you're in the right place. My clients often tell me that what they value most is feeling heard — and that's exactly where I start. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or something you can't quite name yet, I'm here to help you make sense of it without judgment.
I’m Mary, a nurse practitioner with nearly 40 years of experience in healthcare, and caring for people across the lifespan has been at the heart of my work from the beginning. My journey has included women’s health and midwifery, emergency care, and ultimately psychiatric mental health, shaped by a deep belief that no one should have to struggle alone. Personal loss and witnessing gaps in mental health care strengthened my commitment to helping people before pain becomes overwhelming. Outside of work, I enjoy starting my mornings with quiet reflection, going on long-distance cycling adventures, and relaxing with some friendly Xbox competition alongside my husband and friends.
I'm a compassionate mental health provider who believes healing is possible for everyone. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life — and my role is to walk alongside you with evidence-based tools and unwavering support. I bring warmth and authenticity to every session, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Whatever you're carrying, I'm here to help.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Santa Fe
Finding psychiatrists in Santa Fe starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and do not prescribe. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may fit your needs. Both therapy and psychiatry can be useful entry points, depending on the type of care you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Santa Fe, local psychiatrist availability may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual psychiatry appointments can expand your options across New Mexico while still giving you access to care from home. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and details about their approach, specialties, and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Santa Fe 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 find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can browse psychiatrists in Santa Fe, 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.
