Getting to know Dr. Obunadike Ekene Mbanugo
Seeking help for mental health can be a deeply personal and challenging decision. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice, a Master’s in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, and a Bachelor’s degree from Florida International University, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that healing begins with trust, and I am committed to working alongside you to navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. Every individual is unique, and so is their journey toward mental wellness. I take a holistic approach to psychiatry, combining medication management when appropriate with thoughtful conversations about your emotions, behaviors, and personal goals.

My expertise includes depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and ADHD. I stay up to date with the latest research and treatment approaches, always striving to provide the best possible care for my patients.
I understand that taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming. My commitment is to provide a space where you feel valued, respected, and supported no matter where you are on your journey. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can explore the best path for your wellbeing.
