You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.

Maybe you understand exactly why you do what you do, but still find yourself repeating the same patterns. You may overthink, people-please, push yourself too hard, struggle to set boundaries, or turn to food, drugs, alcohol, relationships, or achievement when life feels overwhelming. You may even know where these patterns came from and still feel stuck. If you’ve wondered, “Why can’t I just stop?” you’re not alone, and it isn’t because you’re weak. These patterns began as ways of protecting you. You’re not broken- only blocked. Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s keeping you stuck so you can reconnect with your highest self.

I help adults heal the trauma that’s keeping them stuck in addiction, eating disorders, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, and shame. My clients can explain their trauma logically, but their bodies haven’t gotten the memo that it’s over. My approach is person-centered, drawing from EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, psychodynamic and spiritual frameworks.

Edewor Osevwe

Edewor Osevwe

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Welcome! I'm Dr. Ben Osevwe, a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 22 years of experience in mental health care, including over 4.5 years as a PMHNP. I founded Solid Foundation Psychiatry with one mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized psychiatric care that empowers individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I work with adolescents and adults ages 12 through 90, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy. I believe that effective mental health treatment goes beyond prescribing medication. Every visit is an opportunity to listen, educate, collaborate, and develop a treatment plan that reflects your unique goals, values, and life circumstances.

My clinical interests include ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or have struggled with symptoms for years, I strive to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns.

I provide both in-person psychiatric care in Pearland, Texas, serving the greater Houston area, and telepsychiatry to patients in states where I am licensed. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy and lifestyle recommendations.

My philosophy is simple: Every person deserves to be heard, treated with dignity, and given the tools to thrive. I believe healing begins with a trusting relationship, open communication, and a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

It is a privilege to be part of your mental health journey, and I look forward to partnering with you to help you build resilience, restore hope, and achieve lasting emotional wellness.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist 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 Alameda

Searching for therapists in Alameda starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Alameda therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, and what sessions may be like.

Alameda is a smaller city within the East Bay, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care connected to California-licensed therapists. When comparing therapy in Alameda, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how a therapist communicates, who they typically work with, and how they structure care.

Therapy in Alameda can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for Alameda therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
