I believe therapy is a space to find inner peace through courage, curiosity, and compassion. The journey toward peace begins with the willingness to be vulnerable—an act that can feel both brave and frightening. Opening up to another person and turning inward to meet ourselves can stir fear and uncertainty, but it becomes gentler in a space free of judgment and shame. My goal is to create that space, where you can explore at your own pace and begin to reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding.

With 12+ years of experience supporting those impacted by trauma and other challenges , I use a body-centered, relational approach. I help clients slow down, tune into their bodies, and notice how the past shapes their present. Through curiosity, mindfulness, and compassion, I guide healing and deeper connection with self and others.

Know that I look at the whole system, not just the thought loop. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - Supervisor in Ohio, and I'm also trained as a yoga instructor and nutrition professional, so when we talk about anxiety, OCD patterns, or burnout, we're also talking about your sleep, your body, and what's actually sustainable for you. I work with adults and older adults, individuals and families, and I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and clients navigating racial-justice-related stress as your full self, not a case file.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and couples from a collaborative, compassionate, and relationship-centered perspective. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be open about their experiences and feel supported as they work toward their goals. With individuals, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, coping, communication, and healthier patterns of thinking and relating. With couples, I focus on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, and helping partners feel more secure and connected to one another. Drawing from EFT and the Gottman Method, I help couples move beyond recurring conflict and develop greater understanding, empathy, and connection.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


Hello, and welcome

My name is Judith Amobi, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, and complex co-occurring mental health conditions.

These experiences have given me the privilege of supporting people during some of the most difficult and transformative periods of their lives, from managing everyday stress and emotional overwhelm to navigating recovery, healing, and long-term wellness.

I believe effective psychiatric care extends beyond symptom management. My goal is to understand the person behind the diagnosis, recognize their strengths, and create a treatment plan that supports meaningful and lasting change. I strive to provide a welcoming, judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to actively participate in their care.

Whether you are seeking support for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I am committed to helping you move toward greater stability, confidence, and overall well-being.

I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.
