About
I am a clinically experienced Nurse Practitioner with Compassion, Empathy, and Attentive listening Skills in treating and managing clients with various mental illnesses. I understand how mental illness affects clients and will use a holistic therapeutic approach to deliver quality care.
My name is Judith Uwazuruonye, DNP, APN, PMHNP-BC. I bring 22 years of RN experience, including four years as a psychiatric charge nurse and three years as a PMHNP-BC. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, eating disorders, conduct and oppositional defiant disorders, and adjustment disorders across the lifespan. I have a particular interest in adolescent care — teens navigating identity, stress, anger, and confusion need a provider who understands that stage of life. I provide culturally competent, patient-centered care across inpatient, outpatient, and correctional settings.
I use a holistic therapeutic approach that combines compassionate listening, psychoeducation, medication management, and individualized care plans. I am empathetic, a good listener, and committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel supported. My goal is to help each client make meaningful progress toward better mental health.
I am an experienced provider offering a holistic therapeutic approach and patient-centered care for the best quality results.

By demonstrating empathy, sympathy, and positive regard, I give my clients a space to be themselves while they work on becoming their better selves.
