About
As a board-certified mental health nurse practitioner, I draw on extensive clinical experience to provide evidence-based, culturally informed care tailored to each client’s unique needs.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 11 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns. I offer a calm, collaborative space where you can feel respected, understood, and empowered. My approach blends evidence-based care, medication management, and compassionate dialogue to help you build clarity, strengthen stability, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. My work integrates evidence-based psychotherapy, patient-centered collaboration, and thoughtful medication management. I help clients stabilize their mood, understand their symptoms, and develop healthier patterns through practical tools that support sustainable emotional well-being.
Reaching out for support is an act of strength, and you deserve a space where you feel heard and supported. My goal is for you to leave each session with clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of balance. When you are ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment so we can begin this work together and take the next step toward healing and stability.

With experience caring for adolescents and adults across diverse backgrounds, I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and collaboration, allowing each client to achieve meaningful and lasting change.
Hello, I'm Christian Nwofor, PMHNP-BC, licensed in Texas. I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy to adolescents and adults through telehealth and in-person settings. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, and other mood and thought disorders. Many clients come to treatment overwhelmed by stress, trauma, or life transitions—others seek greater stability, improved focus, or support in achieving their goals. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I combine medication management with supportive therapy and psychoeducation to help clients understand their symptoms. I incorporate CBT techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build resilience. My goal is to empower clients with practical tools for lasting growth.
Taking the first step toward treatment can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'm committed to a safe, supportive space where you feel heard. I believe healing and growth are possible for everyone, wherever you are. I welcome the chance to support you.

I show up as a real person in the room, meeting clients with respect, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping them feel understood.
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, and residential treatment, supporting both adolescents and adults. Most of my work centers on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and major life changes. My focus is providing a grounded, reliable space where clients can slow down, regain stability, and move forward with clarity and self‑trust.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based methods to help clients understand their experiences and develop tools for healing. You can expect a supportive, steady space where we focus on clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable progress.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to grow. When you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you.

From personal experience I recognize that understanding ourselves begins with being heard, I will create a space where you feel supported and can explore who you are and where you want to go.
I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision at St. Mary’s University, with the goal of becoming a counseling professor. I am a culturally integrative LPC-Associate in Texas with clinical experience in university counseling, private group practice, and community clinic settings. I have developed a strong affinity for working with young adults navigating identity development and life transitions, first-generation Asian Americans, and individuals experiencing feeding and eating disorders.
My therapeutic approach is creative and collaborative, incorporating Sandtray and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients explore emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported while developing skills to navigate life’s stressors and challenges.
I believe that therapy is a space where you should feel seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a warm and collaborative environment where you can explore your experiences, emotions, identity, and the challenges you may be navigating. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope to meet you with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment.

I find that using DBT is most beneficial when an individual is in crisis or just coming out of crisis because it is a skill-based therapy.
I teach skills-based training when using DBT — including mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance — to help improve well-being.
I know that an individual is making meaningful progress in DBT when they are able to regulate their emotions and manage stressful situations.
Individuals can supplement their time in DBT by practicing the skills taught in therapy on a daily basis.
To prepare for an individual's first DBT therapy session, they can identify the emotions that they are having the most difficulty with.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Bastrop, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
