My name is Uzochukwu Sam Ekpunobi. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, including more than a decade focused on mental health and addiction services for adults. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work for Yale New Haven Health and the Veterans Hospital. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care, with a strong focus on helping clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey.
I start by really listening to you—your experiences, concerns, and what feels off. Then we use evidence-based assessments to figure out what’s going on. It’s not just about labels; it’s about understanding your unique situation. Knowing the right diagnosis helps guide the best care plan for you. We take our time and answer your questions along the way.
I take my time and answer your questions along the way. Ultimately, it’s about giving you clarity, direction, and a plan that actually makes sense for your life.
