Hi there! I'm glad you found your way here.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you are not alone. A lot of the

people I work with describe a similar experience: on the surface, life looks manageable, but

internally, it is a different story. Thoughts that won't quiet down, energy that's hard to find, or

stress from past experiences that never quite resolved themselves.

You don't have to keep carrying that on your own.

I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental challenges, from anxiety, ADHD,

depression, and mood disorders to trauma, life transitions, burnout, and beyond. My goal is

straightforward: to help you feel more like yourself again, and more in control of your day-to-day life.

I’m Fatoumata Diallo, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing care to individuals ages 18 through older adulthood across Texas. My work is rooted in empathy, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and mood disorders, with a particular passion for supporting clients through life transitions, trauma recovery, and emotional overwhelm. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, transparent, and empowering.

My approach blends medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation, always tailored to your unique goals and strengths. To enhance continuity and access, my practice also offers membership services that provide ongoing support between visits.

My mission is to help you feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more in control of your mental health journey.
