Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Santa Rosa, CA

I specialize in supporting high-functioning adults navigating ADHD, burnout, addiction, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand how your mind works—while building practical tools that create real, lasting change.

Great to meet you! Taking the first step toward caring for your mental health can feel overwhelming, so I'm glad you're here. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 1 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reach your goals.

There is so much growing that we do in our teens & young adulthood (and our adulthood too!), whether we want to or not. I know how overwhelming it can be, especially with so many factors at play (culture, trauma, world events, etc). As your therapist, I’m here to support you through all this.

I am someone who:

• Works with BIPOC, children of immigrants, LGBTQ+, & neurodivergent teens folx, & those who are grieving
• Is trauma informed, & community/justice oriented
• Knows how the systems at play affect us daily & at a deeper unconscious level
• Creates a safe space for you to explore the parts of your life that may feel too difficult to hold on your own

If you want any of the following, then I am the therapist for you:

• Work through your relationships, life events, &/or grief using talk therapy & body-centered approaches
• Process life events, ideas, feelings with thought provoking questions
• Support in navigating relationships & your inner world in any capacity

I provide psychotherapy to a diverse adult population experiencing generalized anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, stress, life transitions and adjustment difficulties, relationship concerns, and family challenges. I also have experience treating clients with perinatal mental health concerns, including postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and birth trauma.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Japanese, I provide psychotherapy in both languages, offering culturally responsive care to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Hi, I'm Chidinma! I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I bring over 14 years of diverse clinical experience, including more than 9 years practicing independently as an advanced practice nurse.

My background spans complex healthcare settings—including the VA Healthcare System, Primary care, Urgent care, and Correctional medicine—where I have proudly delivered comprehensive care across the lifespan.

I firmly believe that physical health and mental well-being are deeply intertwined. By combining my extensive primary care and psychiatric expertise, I provide thorough, comprehensive evaluations for individuals of all ages, ensuring you receive safe, well-rounded care that honors your unique background.
