Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Nacogdoches, TX

Hi, I'm Adaobi — a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in nursing and outpatient mental health care.

If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, you're in the right place. My clients often tell me that what they value most is feeling heard — and that's exactly where I start. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or something you can't quite name yet, I'm here to help you make sense of it without judgment.

You have probably been carrying more than you let on, and somewhere along the way, just getting through the day became the goal. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, family stress, and life transitions that feel bigger than expected. I also support parents who are looking for help for a child or teenager who is struggling to find their footing. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to make sure you feel genuinely heard from the very first conversation.

Welcome! I’m Kristin Petersen, MSW, LICSW, and I’ve been a psychotherapist for more than 13 years. I primarily work with women and individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many pressures that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. I’ve supported clients through both everyday challenges and more complex concerns, including trauma, co-occurring conditions, behavioral concerns, and significant life changes. I believe your experiences, relationships, culture, and personal history all matter when understanding what you are going through.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I won’t simply tell you what you “should” do. Instead, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies that fit your life. I draw from cognitive and person-centered approaches and incorporate solution-focused strategies to help you build insight while also making meaningful changes.

Therapy is a place where you can be honest without fear of judgment. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning because something in your life no longer feels manageable, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported while developing the tools and confidence to move forward.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start exactly where you are.

Hi, I’m Pauline, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, and I’m passionate about helping each person feel more supported, balanced, and understood. Outside of work, I love being near the water, whether that means the beach, a lake, or swimming whenever I can.

If therapy were easy, everyone would already be doing it. I work best with people who want a direct therapist, not just a sounding board. I believe that healing comes from doing the work. Real, lasting change demands full commitment—a willingness to show up daily to become the best version of ourselves.

With 24 years of experience as an LPC, my professional background spans leadership, clinical practice, and mentorship. Throughout my career, I have learned that people value connection - whether it’s through shared goals, emotions, or by being seen and heard. I work alongside adults and teens (16+) facing addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and parenting or teen struggles. Supporting military service members and veterans is also an important part of my work.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping each individual achieve emotional wellness and improved quality of life.

I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to empower you and your family with the tools and guidance needed to navigate life's challenges and build lasting resilience.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and wellness—one step at a time.
