Getting to know Amenaghawon Ugwuede
I'm Dr. Amenaghawon Ugwuede, a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management for individuals seeking additional support alongside psychotherapy. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Loma Linda University and furthered my education with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Rush University. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse patient populations across various settings, including county health departments, community mental health agencies, private practice, and even internationally. In my role, I've been fortunate to assist numerous individuals in overcoming their mental health challenges and guiding them towards fulfilling lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first step in treatment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves a detailed assessment of the patient's mental health history, symptoms, and current functioning. This is used to develop an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a psychiatric provider, I'm acutely aware of the unfortunate realities many individuals face within the mental health field, which is why I am committed to offering personalized, empathetic care that centers around their well-being and autonomy. I believe in the power of collaboration and mutual respect, working together with my patients to craft treatment plans that honor their individual needs and preferences. It's essential to me that every person I work with feels seen, heard, and empowered in their healthcare journey.
My dedication to excellence motivates me to stay current with the latest mental health research and techniques, ensuring my patients receive the quality care they deserve. I recognize the unique challenges that communities, especially Black individuals and children of immigrants, often encounter when seeking mental health support.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
