About
As a young minority woman and board-certified PMHNP, I know how important it is to feel understood and comfortable with your provider, and I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients can be fully themselves.
Hi, I'm Agnelyne Ndifor, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in emergency and outpatient psychiatric care. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients seek a safe space to feel heard without judgment, learn to manage their emotions, and regain balance and confidence. As a young Black woman and minority provider, I understand the importance of culturally sensitive care, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. I combine evidence-based treatment, medication management, psychoeducation, and therapeutic techniques to help clients gain insight, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I understand reaching out can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. Healing and growth take time, and I believe everyone deserves to feel supported, understood, and empowered. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or looking for guidance, I look forward to walking alongside you toward healing and wellness.

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in El Paso, TX will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in El Paso, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Do you ever have those days where you wake up feeling sad, unmotivated, and tired? Of course you do—we all have those days every now and then. Depression, though, is much more severe. Rather than having an off day here and there, depression is characterized by a deep despair, loss of interest, and other harmful symptoms that last at least two weeks (and often, longer).
Other harmful symptoms include sleep trouble, harmful changes in appetite and/or weight, lack of motivation, exhaustion, fatigue, withdrawal from other people, inability to focus, and more. In summary, depression makes life unpleasant and disturbs important areas like an individual’s relationships and job.
Depression can be absolutely brutal. Perhaps the most difficult part is that many people don’t realize or fail to admit that they might be depressed. Many of us are hardwired to sweep our problems under the rug and hope that they’ll resolve themselves. When it comes to depression, many of us assume they’re fleeting feelings that will eventually pass. This just isn’t the case, though.
To properly manage and heal from your depression, it’s important that you talk to a mental health professional. In fact, there are mental health professionals who specialize in treating depression. If you’d like to consult a depression therapist or psychologist, please reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in El Paso, TX. Our team can assess your symptoms and help you manage your depression and other mental health challenges.
We listed many of the signs and symptoms of depression above. However, as we said earlier, it’s often difficult to recognize these in yourself. Consider the following questions to better understand whether you might be displaying depression symptoms:
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we suggest that you talk to a mental health professional. We understand that doing so can feel frightening. However, it’s a step in the right direction and toward getting the answers and the help that you need.
Our depression therapists and psychologists at Thriveworks in El Paso, TX are here to help you. They’ll offer their unbridled support during this most difficult time.
What some people don’t realize is that there are different types of depression. Here are a few of the most common:
The symptoms we’ve already listed can occur with the above types of depression. However, they each have other specifics; for example, postpartum depression occurs in moms after the birth of their baby. And seasonal affective disorder often occurs in the colder, darker seasons.
