Dallas, TX Therapy, Psychiatry, and Counseling

My name is Jideofor Azie. I am a compassionate mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I have clinical experience working with diverse populations across a range of settings and draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based practices to tailor care to each individual's unique needs.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to assessment, medication management, and therapy. I consider biological, psychological, and social factors to tailor care to each person. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful approach combining medication, education, therapy, and coping strategies for well-being. 

I understand that reaching out can feel like a big and sometimes uncertain step, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you move toward greater balance and well-being. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment—I would be honored to work alongside you.

My name is Josias Pincay. I received my master's degree in Psychology with a Clinical Concentration from the University of Dallas in 2025, a university whose emphasis on the phenomenological and psychoanalytic traditions of psychology provided a well-rounded foundation in approaching patients not as a cluster of symptoms, but as individuals with their own unique histories and ways of being in the world, and whose symptoms are latent with meaning and function (even if dysfunctional). 

I lean strongly on the fundamentals of Lacanian psychoanalysis, focusing on HOW you talk about your life and problems to explore the underlying dynamics of a symptom or behavior. The aim is to spark curiosity and awareness of your own thoughts and actions, developing insight and ultimately dealing with the root of the problem rather than its branches.

Taking the step to truly discuss your SELF with someone else is a daunting step, but well worth it, and it is a commendable thing to seek help for yourself instead of staying stuck in the same patterns that have troubled you.
