“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!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi, I’m Dr. Christencia Obinna-Igbokwe, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Infinity Wellminds Services PLLC, with 24+ years in clinical and psychiatric settings. I treat teens and adults for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar/mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, SUD, and perinatal mental health. I see patients with insurance/private pay in Washington State, also in Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, on a cash/private-pay basis for now.
My approach is calm, collaborative, and non-judgmental: I listen first, respect your story and culture, and build a plan around your goals. Care may include medication management when appropriate, Psychotherapy plus brief, practical skills for sleep, focus, and daily routines.
I offer in-person visits in Tacoma (ADA-accessible) and HIPAA-secure telehealth across Washington. First visits are 45–60 minutes and conclude with a clear, step-by-step plan and supportive follow-ups.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During your first session at Infinity Wellminds Services PLLC, you can expect a calm, welcoming, and judgment-free space focused on understanding your story. We’ll review your current concerns, personal goals, and relevant medical history to build a clear picture of your emotional and overall wellness.
I’ll explain how psychiatric evaluations, medication management and/or psychotherapy works, answer your questions, and discuss evidence-based options that align with your preferences and lifestyle. Together, we’ll set initial treatment goals and develop a collaborative plan that feels supportive and manageable.
I strive to offer a warm reception, transparent, and paced at your comfort level, so you leave your first visit feeling heard, informed, and confident about the next steps.
