Getting to know Mwamini Benga
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing direct, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults through secure telehealth in Ohio.
I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and burnout-related conditions. Many of the patients I work with are high-functioning but struggling with focus, overwhelm, chronic stress, or difficulty staying organized and emotionally regulated.
My approach is structured, direct, and focused on practical outcomes. I take time to understand how symptoms affect your daily functioning—work performance, relationships, motivation, and overall quality of life—so we can build a treatment plan that is clear, realistic, and effective.
I work best with individuals who are ready to actively engage in their care and want a focused, goal-oriented approach to psychiatric treatment.
Appointments are conducted exclusively via telehealth for convenience and accessibility. Services are self-pay only, and insurance is not accepted.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation focused on understanding your symptoms, history, and current concerns.
We will discuss how symptoms are affecting your daily life, including work, relationships, mood, attention, and functioning.
A diagnostic impression is developed based on clinical assessment and evidence-based criteria.
Together, we will review treatment options, which may include medication management and psychoeducation.
If medication is appropriate, we will discuss expected benefits, risks, and a step-by-step treatment plan.
Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, adjusting treatment as needed, and addressing any ongoing symptoms or side effects.
Care is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on measurable improvement over time rather than open-ended talk therapy.
I do not provide traditional psychotherapy; instead, sessions are centered on psychiatric evaluation and medication management support.
All visits are conducted via telehealth for convenience and continuity of care.
