I am Adeline Mangwa, PMHNP-BC, with over 16 years of experience in psychiatric and behavioral health care. I provide care across the lifespan, serving children, adolescents, and adults, and am dedicated to delivering personalized, evidence-based mental health and substance use treatment. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, addiction, and complex psychiatric conditions including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. My holistic approach emphasizes a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, empowering clients to openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy with psychiatric evaluations, medication management and crisis intervention to help clients build coping skills and achieve lasting change. As a Suboxone-certified provider, I combine medication-assisted treatment with therapeutic support to promote long-term recovery.

I chose mental health care out of a deep passion for advocacy, healing, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness. I am committed to walking alongside each client on their journey toward resilience, stability, and improved quality of life, helping them feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

My name is Randi Hamilton and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. I have worked with people with various diagnoses of all ages, although I enjoy working with the young adult population (20s).

I enjoy using CBT and DBT techniques helping clients challenge their thoughts to evaluate the truthfulness and to come up with alternate, more realistic thoughts. Concepts within DBT are so important to be aware of, and practice, like mindfulness and acceptance.

Come share your journey with me in my oasis of possibilities.
