Dr. Onyeisi Ogbomeh

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Illinois


I'm Dr. Onyeisi Stephen Ogbomeh (Dr. Og), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), and U.S. Army veteran with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I provide compassionate, evidence-based virtual psychiatric care for patients of all ages across Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin.

My journey is one of resilience. Born into poverty in Nigeria, I worked as a bus conductor and construction laborer as a child to help my family survive. In 2007, I won the U.S. Visa Lottery and arrived in America with little more than hope. I started my healthcare career as a Certified Nursing Assistant and worked relentlessly to earn my DNP and multiple board certifications — all while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA.

I served as an Active Duty Family Nurse Practitioner in the U.S. Army, providing care to soldiers and their families. After my service, I faced my own mental health challenges — depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I'm currently in recovery and receiving treatment at my local VA hospital. This personal experience gives me a deep, lived understanding of what my patients go through, and it drives my commitment to providing the best evidence-based care available.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and memory concerns. My approach combines comprehensive evaluation, medication management, and ongoing support — all tailored to your unique needs. I believe healing happens through partnership, and I'm here to support your mental health journey with compassion, expertise, and respect.

You deserve to feel heard. Let's work together toward lasting wellness.

If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone.

Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

I offer a kind, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, or simply the weight of trying to hold everything together on your own. My goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported as we work through what is weighing on you. Therapy with me is about creating a space where you do not have to have all the answers right away - just a willingness to begin.
