Derrick Victorino

Derrick Victorino

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Rhode Island


I’m Derrick Victorino, an Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing integrative psychiatric care to adolescents, adults, and older adults throughout Rhode Island.

I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, and substance use disorders, with additional clinical experience in addiction treatment and geriatric psychiatry.

I believe mental health care should be about more than simply managing symptoms. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build resilience and stability, improve focus, and make meaningful changes that improve your quality of life. Treatment is individualized to who you are, what you're experiencing, and where you want to go.

Unwanaobong Udoko

Unwanaobong Udoko

Therapist

Virtual • Rhode Island


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a therapeutic approach and consulting practice grounded in the belief that healing begins when we learn to see ourselves through a clearer, more empowered lens. As a Nigerian-American woman, my heritage deeply informs my understanding of identity, resilience, spirituality, and community. These values shape the way I hold space for clients and guide them toward alignment with their highest embodiment of self.

My professional background includes years of experience in community mental health, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive practice. I have supported women, youth, and BIPOC communities through therapy, support groups, and mental health trainings. I am also influenced by Womanist Psychology, which honors the lived experiences, wisdom, and strength of Black women and communities.

My work integrates Western therapeutic approaches with cultural insight, African wisdom, and a holistic understanding of healing. I believe that our lenses or our “vue" are shaped by our stories, our lineage, and the environments that raised us. Through SelfVue, I help clients shift their perspective, reconnect with their inner strength, and cultivate a grounded sense of self-worth.

Whether through individual therapy, consultation, or organizational support, my goal is to create a warm, intuitive, and culturally attuned space where clients feel seen, affirmed, and supported in their journey toward self-actualization.

Donna Handy

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Providence, RI


I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. Along with my professional experience in community mental health and crisis-based work, I also bring lived experience that helps me connect with clients in a compassionate, authentic, and down-to-earth way. I understand how overwhelming life can feel when someone is navigating trauma, chronic stress, medical challenges, major life changes, or simply trying to keep everything together while struggling internally.

I have experience supporting adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, substance use concerns, and severe and persistent mental illness. I’m especially passionate about working with people impacted by difficult life experiences, medical trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and emotional exhaustion.

My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, comfortable, respected, and truly understood while working toward healing, growth, and a stronger connection with themselves.
