Dr. Wendy Chukwuto

I am Dr. Wendy Chukwuto, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a Doctorate-prepared, Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 10 years of clinical experience in psychiatric nursing, mental health assessment, and evidence-based treatment. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and integrated care tailored to each person's unique needs. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and holistic. I believe mental health care should be accessible, stigma-free, and empowering, and I work with clients to build treatment plans that fit real life, not just a diagnosis.

I work with adults, older adults, and adolescents where clinically appropriate and permitted by licensure. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure where to begin. I specialize in support for: - Anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias - Depression and persistent depressive disorder - Trauma and PTSD, including complex trauma and adverse childhood experiences - Bipolar disorder I and II, mood stabilization, and long-term wellness planning - ADHD assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based pharmacological management - Substance use disorders and dual diagnosis concerns - Grief, loss, and major life transitions - Stress-related conditions, burnout, and workplace mental health

I am accepting new clients for telehealth and in-person psychiatric care. Insurance is accepted through Radiant Recovery and Counseling Services; please verify current in-network plans during intake. Flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend availability, may be available.

I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I believe mental health is just as vital as physical health, and every person deserves to be seen, heard, and empowered to seek help without fear or shame. Whether you are struggling with anxiety that keeps you awake at night, depression that makes the day feel impossible, or trauma that has shaped your world in ways you are still working to understand, I am here as a partner in your healing journey. Reach out today to schedule psychiatric care with Dr. Wendy Chukwuto at Radiant Recovery and Counseling Services.
