“Christencia has been amazing. She is very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and reassuring. For the first time in a long time, I truly felt heard and understood during a medical appointment. She takes the time to listen and gives very thoughtful and detailed evaluations. My medication has been working really well and a big part of that is how carefully she manages my treatment. She checks in regularly, pays attention to the details and it's clear she actually cares about her patients as people, not just cases. I'm really grateful that I have found her.”

Getting to know Dr. Christencia Obinna-Igbokwe

Do you appear composed on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally as a teen or an adult? Are anxiety, racing thoughts, sleep disruption, mood changes, or difficulty focusing quietly affecting your work or relationships? Whether you’re struggling with panic attacks, persistent low mood, hypervigilance, attention difficulties, sleep disturbance, or life transitions, we create a clear, structured plan that helps you feel calmer, more focused, and more in control. You don’t have to manage it alone. I work closely with teens and adults who have anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, psychosis, OCD, PTSD, sleep issues, perinatal issues, and more. I am dedicated to supporting my patients in enhancing their mental health. My style is calm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I believe that effective treatment starts with truly listening and understanding your story, your culture, your strengths, and your goals. Together, we’ll explore both medication options and practical coping strategies, so your care plan fits your real life, not just your diagnosis. I strive to deliver fair and inclusive care to all those I serve. You have already made a significant step towards mental and emotional well-being by showing up!
