I am a board-certified psychiatrist committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and person‐centered care to individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges. My training includes a general psychiatry residency in New Jersey and an advanced Addiction Psychiatry/NIDA‐T32 Research Fellowship at Columbia University in New York City, where I received specialized experience in the treatment of substance use disorders, comorbidity, and academic research.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from your sense of purpose? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. As a licensed clinician with over a decade of experience, I’m here to support you through life’s challenges and help you regain clarity, confidence, and control.

My clinical background includes work in crisis intervention, outpatient psychotherapy, and group facilitation for parenting, anger management, and domestic violence. Over the past six years, I’ve served as a mental health clinician in an emergency room setting, supporting children, adolescents, and adults in acute crisis.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, career-related stress, relationship issues, fear of rejection, and feelings of abandonment.

Hey, so glad you're here! I love to blend curiosity, understanding, feeling and processing into my holistic type approach. Many of the clients I work with are looking for a deeper understanding of themselves and their ongoing struggles.

I want you to feel comfortable and understood from the very first conversation we have. My work centers on helping people manage anxiety, lift the weight of depression, and find steady footing in recovery from addiction. I see care as something we build together, not something done to you, so your voice shapes every step of the plan. Whether you are just starting to notice something feels off or you have carried a struggle for years, you deserve a partner who listens closely and treats your goals as the compass. I bring warmth, encouragement, and a genuine belief that change is possible, and I am glad you are here.

I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.

My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.

I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.

I have worked as a therapist for 11+ years. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. I find beauty in all the stages of life. It is my goal to accompany patients in achieving their best lives through the therapeutic alliance. I enjoy providing patients with tools and helping them achieve their full potential. Patients get to explore in session the challenges they face in life and master them.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people work through anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, work-related stress, and significant life transitions. My training is trauma-informed, drawing on cognitive and behavioral therapies and a culturally responsive practice, so our work together starts with a clear, structured assessment and a plan built around what matters to you. If that sounds like the support you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.

Hi there, I’m Ugochi. I’ve worked in healthcare across many different settings, including inpatient care and psychiatry. I work with teens and adults ages 13 and older, supporting clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or ADHD. I’m not currently prescribing stimulant medications.
