Ngozi Kalu

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Ngozi Kalu, PMHNP-BC, AGNP-C, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner serving clients across Texas. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adults and teens, helping them regain balance and confidence in their daily lives.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and sleep disorders, and other mental health disorders. I also work closely with patients and their families to create treatment plans that fit their unique goals. My approach combines thorough psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive counseling to help you feel better, think clearly, and live with purpose.

Many of my patients come to me when life feels overwhelming, relationships are strained, or focus and motivation seem out of reach. Together, we identify what’s getting in the way and build a clear, personalized path forward.

I believe healing happens when care is collaborative, respectful, and accessible. That’s why I offer flexible scheduling and accept insurance through Headway so you can get started without delay.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to partner with you in your journey toward wellness.

Pennie Higdon

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly 30 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health needs. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My background includes on‐site work in psychiatric hospitals providing diagnostic assessments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, as well as extensive outpatient experience addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, substance use, trauma, adjustment disorders, and crisis intervention.

My clinical work also includes serving as a crisis counselor with the American Red Cross in Dallas during Hurricane Katrina, supporting displaced individuals and families through acute stress, grief, and major life disruption. In addition to my direct clinical roles, I spent nearly 25 years in managed care conducting nationwide clinical reviews for psychiatric and substance‐use facilities, strengthening my ability to assess complex cases, understand treatment systems, and advocate for appropriate levels of care.

While I have experience providing marital and family therapy, my primary focus is working with individuals who are seeking clarity, stability, emotional healing, and long‐term growth. I currently offer outpatient therapy and facilitate recovery‐focused groups in the Plano area, providing virtual care to clients throughout Texas.

My therapeutic approach integrates person‐centered interventions, motivational interviewing, reality‐based strategies, and—when desired—Christ‐centered counseling. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and belief systems, offering faith‐integrated care only when it aligns with the client’s preferences. My goal is to provide a supportive, grounded, and collaborative space where individuals can heal, grow, and build lasting change.
