Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Mesquite, TX

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor who specializes in mood and personality disorders.

I hold my bilingual counseling certification in Spanish and am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have experience working with the military population, individuals and children/adolescents struggling with emotion regulation, anxiety, depression, and more!

Sometimes life does not turn out the way you hoped and it can take time to feel steady again. Maybe you are adjusting to life with a new baby while others tell you this should be the happiest time of your life. Maybe you are grieving a loss while the world keeps moving or facing an unexpected change and wondering how to move forward. Whatever brings you here, you do not have to navigate it alone. I am Angela Procalamos, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, and I support adults ages 18 and older experiencing depression, perinatal depression, anxiety, grief, and significant life transitions. As a non-traditional student raising two school-aged children, I completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. That experience deepened my understanding of how demanding major life transitions can be, while my clinical training helps me meet each client with skill and care. I bring more than 11 years of experience in behavioral health, including work in community mental health and a managed care organization. This background gives me a broad understanding of both the systems clients encounter and the deeply personal nature of therapy. I believe in each person's capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. I honor the unique path, timeline, and story every client brings to therapy.

With 17 years of experience as a counselor and a Master of Education degree, I am passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. I love what I do and am committed to providing a supportive, compassionate, and empowering environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and equipped to reach their goals. My greatest reward is seeing clients build confidence, resilience, and lasting positive change in their lives.

I have been working in the mental health field for many years and have had the privilege of supporting individuals through many of life’s challenges. Over time, I have seen firsthand the stressors and unexpected difficulties that life can bring. While we cannot always prevent these challenges—because life will continue to be life—we can learn healthier ways to cope, grow, and move forward.

My role is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop practical tools, and gain insight into the patterns that may be affecting your well-being. I am here to offer guidance, encouragement, and support as we work together toward your goals and toward creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and manageable.

Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with compassionate listening, creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.

I'm a licensed psychologist, an assistant professor at a public university, and — in an earlier life — a musician who led a band around Hongdae in Seoul. I was born and raised in Korea and have since lived and worked across the U.S. and in Vietnam, so I know the experience of living between cultures from the inside.

I work with adults, adolescents, and children, in English and Korean, on ADHD and executive functioning; anxiety, stress, and depression; giftedness, creativity, and high performance (including performers and creative professionals); and bicultural and Korean-American identity, acculturation, and family dynamics across generations. I also see couples and families.

My doctorate is from one of the very few APA-accredited Combined (Counseling & School Psychology) programs in North America, and I've researched creativity and giftedness for more than ten years. Most of my work is by telehealth.
