Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Irvine, CA

I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), working in private practice as a Psychotherapist. I live in Los Angeles, and work in-person or hybrid, with adults, teens, couples and the aging population. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, work stress/dissatisfaction, career goals, sleep disorders, substance use, trauma (ptsd/complex/acute), obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD/OCPD), attention deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD). In addition I deal with grief, isolation, and breaking creative blocks.

I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.

I’m Chinenye Udoh, MSN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, schizophrenia, and other mental health challenges.

Many of the people I work with have spent years knowing that something doesn’t feel quite right but struggling to put it into words. You may be having difficulty focusing or completing tasks, experiencing overwhelming anxiety, struggling with motivation, noticing significant changes in your mood, or simply feeling exhausted from trying to manage everything on your own. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard rather than judged and understood rather than rushed.

Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or everyday stress, I want you to feel comfortable reaching out. As a bilingual psychiatric provider, I offer care in English and Spanish. I believe in listening without judgment, treating you as a person rather than a diagnosis, and working together to help you feel better. I offer appointments within 24 hours because your mental health shouldn't have to wait.

Feeling truly heard can change everything. After twelve years of working with individuals, couples, and families, including first responders. I have seen how much shifts when a person finally feels understood, and when the people around them start to understand what they are carrying. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with adults, teens, couples, and families moving through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance use, and the relationship strain that tends to grow around all of it. You do not have to figure it out alone.

You set the direction. Early on we notice the patterns that keep showing up, then look closely at the thoughts that arrive dressed as facts. We start from what you want to change, not what anyone else wants for you. I point out the strength you have stopped counting, and when something hard has just happened, I can offer structured support right away.

Hello! I'm a bilingual (English/Korean) licensed marriage and family therapist with 8 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My passion is helping you achieve your goals and cultivate emotional well-being. I invite you to reach out if you're ready to make positive changes in your life—I'm here to support you every step of the way.
