Meet Dr. Nmezi

Dr. Nmezi treats people with co-morbid psychiatric and medical conditions in order to improve psychological well-being and quality of life. Dr. Nmezi predominantly utilizes cognitive-behavioral and solution focused treatment models (such as CBT, ACT) in providing care. She believes in providing patient-centered care and is attentive to the diverse cultural backgrounds of her patients.

​

Although a common misconception, physical health and mental health are not separable. In fact, they are intimately connected and oftentimes challenges to physical health can take an emotional toll. While trying to manage all that life has to offer including managing a chronic illness it is not unusual to feel emotionally exhausted and to experience challenges in your quality of life.

​

My areas of expertise in psychological assessment and intervention have been focused on working with individuals who are managing a chronic illness or navigating adjustment to an acute and life-changing challenge to their health (e.g., limb loss, stroke).  I utilize evidence-based treatments with a culturally sensitive patient-centered approach.
