Hello, I’m Judith Nyabuti, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Wholesome Mind Psychiatry and Wellness Clinic. I help adults navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood changes through personalized medication management and brief supportive therapy.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care.

Together, we’ll discuss your options, address your questions, and monitor your progress.

I believe therapy works best when you can show up as yourself without judgment, pressure, or feeling like you have to say the “right” thing. I’ve known since I was a junior in high school that I wanted to help people heal from the inside out, and that purpose has stayed with me ever since. For me, therapy isn’t just a job it's my purpose.

I work with clients ages 10+ navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and pretty easy to talk to. You don’t have to come to therapy with everything figured out...we will do that together!
