Hi, and welcome! I am Joy Nnebe, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am thrilled you’re considering working with me.
I have 8 years of experience in psychiatric/mental health nursing, and I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and more, using approaches like CBT therapy and trauma-informed care. I aim to provide simple, non-judgemental, supportive, and personalized care to help you feel understood and empowered on your mental health journey.
I’m Lucia Acosta, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate the challenges of anxiety, anger, and life’s complexities. I am bilingual in Spanish and provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, share your experiences, and work toward meaningful change. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity and confidence as we navigate your healing journey together.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and understanding. I partner with clients to explore patterns, build coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with their values.
It is my prayer to build a practice that helps you reach a place where your mental health is truly at the forefront. My hope is that with each appointment—and each day—you feel supported in moving closer to the best version of yourself.
Great to meet you!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, so taking this step already says a lot about your willingness to grow. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and patterns that can feel hard to break. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles or unsure why certain things keep coming up, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly the kind of work we can explore together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Sunnyvale, CA
Searching for therapists in Sunnyvale starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns similar to yours. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and which types of care they provide.
Sunnyvale has a smaller local market than nearby San Jose or San Francisco, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while still keeping care accessible from home. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles closely can help you see how each therapist works, how they communicate, and whether their availability fits your schedule.
Therapy in Sunnyvale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Sunnyvale, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, plan, and preferences.
