I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, attachment patterns, communication struggles, dating, life transitions, and family dynamics. Whether you’re hoping to rebuild trust, strengthen connection, improve intimacy, heal emotional wounds, communicate more effectively, or gain clarity in your relationships, therapy can be a space to feel supported, understood, and empowered toward meaningful change.

I have worked with a variety of clients of all ages and cultural backgrounds. My primary focus has been on individual therapy but enjoy working with couples and families as well. I bring empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness to all of my therapy sessions.

There's a version of getting through life that looks completely fine from the outside and feels exhausting on the inside. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are carrying more than it shows: anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, major life transitions, or relationship patterns that keep repeating in ways that are hard to explain. I have a particular focus on trauma and attachment wounds and work with many clients who've spent years managing symptoms without ever addressing what's underneath them. My practice is warm and genuinely collaborative. I'll show up as a real partner in your growth, not a distant presence behind a notepad.

I am doing work I love whole-heartedly. I have always loved hearing people's stories, and getting to know what makes people feel most alive. My empathy, warmth and openness support people in feeling comfortable and held in session.

Psychotherapy provided to adults seeking support. In treatment,we can create/reach goals to cope successfully while decreasing symptoms of anxiety/depression. Both short-term and long-term assistance available.

Worked with a vast variety of symptoms and problems providing needed support to my clients suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem. All of these issues and symptoms have a point to make for us to understand our selves better. Working with adolescents in Residential Treatment Centers, Transitional Youth Living Programs, adult and veterans of all ages, there is one common denominator - if you want your life to be better, we can find your individual path and you might become your own Master. We'll apply, or challenge, your believe system, to make positive changes.

I help my clients resolve their problems, learn coping skills, and set their spiritual and/or religious path. Increasing client's understanding of self and accepting life with all the pluses and minuses, learning from the past without the judgment might be a difficult goal to achieve.

Hi, I'm Dr. Umugbe — and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're going through.

I'm a board-certified General, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate some of the most challenging mental health conditions out there — psychotic disorders, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and more. I see patients via telehealth and also offer in-person visits in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Two decades in this field has taught me one thing above everything else: the best care starts with truly knowing the person in front of you. Not just their diagnosis — their story, their symptoms, how long they've been carrying this, and how it's affecting their daily life. That's always where I begin.
