Hello! My name is Diana Mandujano. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Certified Hypnotherapist offering online services in English and Spanish. My specialty is working with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and high-pressure environments.
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.
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.
Hi, I’m Linda Uzoukwu, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and founder of Healing Healthy Minds Nursing, Inc. I provide compassionate, personalized psychiatric care to adults ages 18–60 through convenient telehealth services.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, and perinatal or postpartum mental health concerns. I understand that mental health challenges can affect every part of your life, and my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your care.
Hi, I'm Grace, and I'm so glad you're here.
I believe therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where we can build a genuine connection and work together toward meaningful change.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 6 years. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, children, veterans, and victims of crime. My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, and family systems. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care.
I believe that therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to understand challenges, build on strengths, and foster lasting growth. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck, I am here to support you through the process.

I am a Liscenced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual psychotherapy throughout the state of California. I have over 10 years experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, providing emotional support through use of psychotherapy.
