I am Vanessa Namugalu, MSN, RN, PMHNP‐BC I help teens and adults who are overwhelmed, stuck, or newly diagnosed get clear, practical psychiatric care that actually fits their life. I offer same‐week consults for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, ADHD and adult autism assessments, brief evidence‐based therapy (CBT, TF‐CBT, SFBT), telepsychiatry, crisis stabilization, and substance‐use assessment. I prioritize safety, transparency, and practical skills so you leave each visit with a clear next step.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over fifteen years of experience working as a therapist and a coach. I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, OCD, parenting problems, career challenges, and life transitions.

I've worked with adolescents, couples, and families and I value creating a space where clients feel safe, understood and supported. I'm direct, yet compassionate, and I am not afraid to help you explore the "elephant in the room" so we can get to the root of what's keeping you stuck.

Life can feel like juggling 20 things at once—especially when you’re trying to heal, grow, and keep everything together. You may look capable on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, distracted, misunderstood, or stuck.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults through ADHD, anxiety, mood concerns, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women, neurodivergent adults, POC , and anyone who has ever felt different, judged, or outside of what society considers “normal.”

My approach makes room for culture, identity, and each client’s lived experience.

My style is relaxed, warm, open-minded, and direct. You will not have to mask, perform, or edit yourself in sessions. I provide a judgment-free space where we can be honest, explore what is really happening, and develop realistic steps toward your goals.

Evening and late-evening appointments are available for clients who need therapy to fit around work, parenting, school, or everyday life.

👉 Book a session today, and let’s start this journey toward healing and growth.

I am beyond grateful to be able to provide a safe space for my client's to process stress, learn new things, and have their most vulnerable moments. So much of the time we try to ignore or push away our problems, but part of my job is to remind you that its okay not to be okay and sometimes life just sucks. I love helping teens and young adults with all of the transitions that come with growing up, the good and the bad. I also have experience with and enjoy working with individuals with Autism.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.
