Getting to know Gabriel Obu
I diagnose and treat ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Sleep Disorders, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Schizophrenia, and OCD, and offer laboratory testing to rule out any organic causes. There is no waitlist, and appointments are available within 24-48 hours. I am currently accepting new patients from Texas, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Maryland, and New Mexico. You can self-schedule at [link].
Are you experiencing depression? Innovative treatment options are now available that promise relief from depressive symptoms within weeks. These treatments are not SSRIs or SNRIs, but they are covered by insurance and do not require significant out-of-pocket expenses. There is help and hope available for you.
My treatment philosophy is rooted in a holistic, integrative, and collaborative approach to achieving my patients' goals. I hold a Master's degree in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Walden University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, which inform my comprehensive and patient-centered care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Struggling with ADHD? We offer ADHD-focused care, evaluated through Neurocognitive Testing and modern, once-daily treatments. We provide Psychiatric Medication Management services online and in person. Currently welcoming new patients.
My approach is engaging, positive, and collaborative, utilizing progressive, evidence-based prescribed therapies. We prioritize optimizing dosing schedules and minimizing side effects, while being considerate of your out-of-pocket expenses.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
There is no "one size fits all" in caring for patients with mental and behavioral illnesses, and seeking help is the first step in the healing process. So I partner with my patients to create an individualized treatment plan with measurable goals. My services respect patients' race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.

Gabriel always listens to my concerns very thoroughly, and takes his time answering and addressing each of my questions. The appointments never feel rushed, and at each visit we review how my medications seem to be working so we can make adjustments if needed. We also have close follow up after each medication adjustment to ensure the change is beneficial and not causing negative side effects. I have had occasional issues with pharmacies not stocking my medications, and Gabriel and his team respond right away if I need the prescriptions routed to a different pharmacy. I’m very grateful to be under his care!

This doctor prescribed me medicine that was unfit for my diagnosis . I had to go to another doctor for them to tell me what was prescribed was dangerous for me . He was doing more of an evaluation rather than listening and trying to push medication. Additionally I was billed compeletely incorrect . I do not recommend this doctor.

I’ve been skeptical of meeting with a doctor virtually for mental health. I felt very at ease with Obu N.P. He definitely shows he was listening and that he cared about his work and his patients.

Easy intake process. Intake forms are filled out and submitted electronically which is much appreciated. Mr. Obu comes off so far as a no non sense professional. We wasted no time during my first (and only so far) appointment and dove straight into why I was seeking therapy. Great experience so far.
October 28, 2023Matt S.Verified patientVideo visit
Provider was knowledgeable in what he is doing. I have been having issues with my mental health for several years, couple of several diagnoses and treatments which didn't work. This provider introduced different treatment plan with full explanations. Within 3 weeks into the treatment, I have been feeling much stable and happier. I will definitely recommend him.
More than 1 year agoSM
doctor was very nice. just wish he had read my chart/ reason for being seen/ medical history prior to the appointment because it ended up being read aloud for the first 20 minutes. so i guess i felt like he didn’t really prepare/ care to do so. i also received meds immediately which may be good for some but i wanted to explore other options as well as wait till at least the next appointment. overall those two things were my only issue.

Dr. Obu has been a great psychiatrist for me. He is very timely and our sessions are thorough. He takes into consideration my activity and my primary care doctor's opinion and does more to help me change my habits and lifestyle than just prescribing medications. He is very kind and encourages me to celebrate the small successes. I've had a great experience working with him so far and look forward to our future sessions together. I highly recommend him as a mental health professional.

Gabriel is a very good listener and always calm which is so reassuring to a patient when needed. I will always look out to visiting him. Highly recommended.

The reception was warm and non judgmental, considering the stigma associated with mental health in our society. I felt safe talking about myself and how different from the ordinary I felt. This on the first hand was a soothing intervention, which made it easy for me to accept the more advanced professionals help offered me…I would recommend this practice.
