IJ Mbadugha, PMHNP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
CA
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. My interest in helping the medically underserved arose decades before COVID-19. However, the pandemic was a large catalyst for my focus shift to the mentally disadvantaged population. My goal is to equitably provide and maintain a high quality of care as the premier community resource. Ensuring compassionate, empathetic, powerful, and competent mental health services is at the forefront of my priorities. I am culturally diverse and believe in health equity. I strive to mitigate the stigma associated with mental illness by advocating for our patients. My mental health services are delivered with care, compassion, respect, autonomy, and integrity. I utilize practices spanning psychotherapy, medication management, counseling, and other evidence-based methods to ensure the highest possible quality of mental health delivery and care.

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.
