Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Pasadena, TX

Deciding to start therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. I want to make that decision a little easier by telling you a bit about who I am and how I work.

I've been in private practice for almost 20 years, and over that time I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of people — from children and adolescents navigating the challenges of growing up, to adults facing the pressures of relationships, career transitions, grief, anxiety, and everything in between. That breadth of experience has shaped me into a therapist who is adaptable, attuned, and genuinely invested in the unique needs of each person who walks through my door.

Over the course of my career, I've worked in a variety of clinical settings before establishing my private practice — and those experiences gave me a well-rounded foundation that I draw from every single day. I've seen firsthand that people come to therapy with different backgrounds, different comfort levels, and very different goals. That's not a challenge — it's something I genuinely love about this work. No two clients are the same, and I never treat them as if they are.

Whether you're dealing with something acute and overwhelming, or a quieter, longer-standing struggle you've never quite been able to shake, I'm here to help you make sense of it and move through it in a way that actually works for your life.

I’m Fatoumata Diallo, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing care to individuals ages 18 through older adulthood across Texas. My work is rooted in empathy, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and mood disorders, with a particular passion for supporting clients through life transitions, trauma recovery, and emotional overwhelm. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, transparent, and empowering.

My approach blends medication management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation, always tailored to your unique goals and strengths. To enhance continuity and access, my practice also offers membership services that provide ongoing support between visits.

My mission is to help you feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more in control of your mental health journey.

As both a mental health and addiction professional, I bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to my work with clients. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change.

My educational background reflects my commitment to understanding the connection between mental health, trauma, and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion with a minor in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, followed by a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver.

I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of healthcare experience specializing in men’s health, mental health, hormone optimization, and functional medicine. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care with a personalized, root-cause-focused perspective to help clients improve mood, resilience, focus, sleep, and overall well-being. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, burnout, and performance-related concerns in men. My goal is to provide high-quality, individualized care in a supportive, judgment-free environment where clients feel heard and empowered.

I am a compassionate, client-centered mental health professional with three years of experience providing inpatient behavioral health services to people facing acute and complex mental health concerns. I have supported clients experiencing anxiety, depression, major depressive disorder, trauma-related concerns, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, and emotional or behavioral challenges. My goal is to help each client feel respected, supported, and understood.

I’m a Houston-based therapist with over ten years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel understood, respected, and able to be yourself.

My clinical experience includes intensive outpatient DBT programs, medication-assisted treatment, university counseling, and outpatient and residential treatment for adolescents. I have specialized training in comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including advanced training in DBT Prolonged Exposure and traumatic invalidation. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamically informed approaches, eating disorder treatment, and family therapy into my work.

I have particular clinical interests in trauma, relationship concerns, grief and loss, family-of-origin difficulties, personality disorders, mood disorders, and substance use. I work with clients who may be navigating significant life transitions, difficult relationships, longstanding emotional patterns, or symptoms that have begun to interfere with their daily lives.
