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.

I am currently accepting new clients. I provide children, teenagers, and adults a safe and supportive place to get help with emotional or behavioral challenges. I customize each treatment plan to the patient's preferences, using traditional medication management and/or integrative psychiatry to provide a holistic approach to improve each patient's mental health and overall balance, helping you be happier. You are not alone; I can help you throughout this journey.

Graduated from Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania, I bring over 8 years of experience in the psychiatric and mental health field, caring for patients at Johns Hopkins Medicine, Sheppard Pratt Hospital, St. Joseph Medical Center (University of MD), St. Vincent's Villa (Catholic Charities, MD), and Thundermist Health Care (Rhode Island).

My goal is to help you function at your best while building confidence and stability. I genuinely care about my patients. Together, we can find a path for you to live your best life. Give me a call or send me a text for a brief free introductory chat, no commitment required.

I graduated from University of Southern California with my MSW in Social Work in 2014. I have been a school social worker in San Diego County and then in Rhode Island since 2014. I love helping youth navigate anxiety, big feelings, and the pressures of being a teen. I am also a mom of three young kids. This has led me to be passionate about helping women as they navigate becoming a mother, and their transition into this role.

As someone who was diagnosed as neurodivergent later in life, I bring an empathetic, compassionate understanding of the unique experiences that can come with neurodivergence, including autistic burnout and sensory overwhelm.

In our work together, we’ll explore the sources of overwhelm and identify practical, sustainable strategies that support your individual needs. Together, we’ll develop manageable goals around task initiation, organization, and navigating daily life in ways that feel realistic and affirming—not overwhelming.

The world isn’t always designed with neurodivergent people in mind, and you don’t have to navigate those challenges alone. My goal is to provide a supportive, understanding space where we can work together to better understand your needs, build on your strengths, and find ways to move through life that feel more sustainable and authentic to you.
