• My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
• I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
• I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi there, I’m Patrice Noel, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing tele-health care across Texas. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support people navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, trauma, substance use, grief, sleep concerns, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I believe asking for help is a real act of strength, and I’m proud to create an inclusive space for a wide range of individuals, including LGBTQ+ clients and military veterans.

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.

I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be outside of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as both a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.

I’m Dr. Emem Nkanga, Doctor of Nursing Practice. I believe that everyone deserves a personalized and compassionate approach to mental health care. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, with a focused dedication to psychiatry over the past 4 years. My passion lies in supporting mental health and emotional well-being.

I work with children ages 10 and above, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, and more.

Finding the right mental health provider can feel like a big step — and I want you to know you're already in the right place.

I'm Abioye, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, and psychosis. I see clients ages 6 and up, so whether you're seeking support for your child, yourself, or a loved one, I'm here for your whole family.

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll uncover what's contributing to your struggles and create a plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
