About Us

Meet Dr. Patricia, DNP-PMHNP, President/CEO

Coming from Nigeria in West Africa, I was fortunate to spend my early childhood in a rural community where, as the saying goes, “everybody is nobody, and nobody is everybody.” Some may wonder why I use the word fortunate. I say that because what I witnessed about mental health in the 1970s deeply shaped my worldview — and ultimately set me on the path to my career.

Back then, mental illness was often seen as an evil attack, not a health condition. Those who struggled with it were stigmatized and treated as outcasts. I saw people tied to trees, beaten, and forced to drink fermented herbs, all in the name of “healing.” This may sound barbaric, but it is a true-life story told by someone who witnessed it firsthand.

Sadly, stigma around mental health still exists today — even in developed countries like the United States. But I am here to help amplify the voices of those working tirelessly to end that stigma, and to create healthier, more compassionate ways of supporting mental well-being.

At Mind Healthcare, we believe that receiving care in a judgment-free environment is essential, but it’s only the beginning. Building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust is the true roadmap to recovery.

We dedicate our undivided attention to understanding each client’s needs, empowering them to:

• B – Believe in themselves
• L – Learn about their condition
• A – Appreciate their uniqueness
• N – Nurture their mind

Recovery is a personal journey, and our mission is to walk alongside you with compassion, instilling hope where there is hopelessness and offering empowerment where there is powerlessness.
