Hello! I'm Kianni, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, serving clients all across California. Life is full of uncertainty, change, and challenges. Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out due to life stressors. Maybe you feel stuck or disconnected from in your relationships with others or yourself. Perhaps you're navigating a transition and unsure of how to handle what comes next. Or perhaps nothing is necessarily wrong, but you feel ready for a change.
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.
My approach is influenced by Jungian, Depth, and Transpersonal psychology, feminist, queer and social justice-allied, and strength-based. I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Expressive Arts Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies, and have been in practice for 10 years in a wide variety of clinical mental health settings.
Being an LMFT is my second career, and the one in which I finally feel like my best self. Having been in the business world for 20 years before this has given me lots of great life experience. I bring all of this and my blended family life to the table when I'm in the room with clients. They deserve the whole person.
I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working with individuals and couples for over 25 years. I believe strongly in the benefits of processing the challenges of life with a supportive and open-minded "witness" in order to get perspective and make hard decisions. I worked with families at Children's Hospital and PsyCare Inc. in San Diego, before opening my private practice in 2003.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arcata
Searching for therapists in Arcata starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Arcata is a smaller city, so local in-person availability may be more limited than in larger nearby areas like Eureka or other parts of Humboldt County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping care connected to California-licensed therapists. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Arcata can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan and location before booking.
