Hello, I'm Rita Uduma. I bring over 20 years of dedicated nursing experience, passionately caring for patients in various settings including rehab hospitals, psychiatric clinics, and skilled nursing facilities. I'm a Charge Nurse at Briarcliff Nursing and Rehab Center in Tyler, TX. Here, I oversee medication administration, patient continued assessment and monitoring, and ensure that controlled medicines are used safely. My work also focuses on caring for those with Alzheimer's, dementia, and behavioral challenges. Earlier in my career, my role at UT Health East Texas involved managing patient care after surgeries, administering medications, and coordinating with healthcare teams to adjust treatment plans. In addition to my hands-on experience, I've trained extensively in patient assessment, psychotherapy, and medication management through various clinical practicums. I've worked with patients from all walks of life, helping them to achieve better health outcomes through compassionate care. I hold an Associate Degree in Nursing from Tyler Junior College and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I am committed to providing exceptional care and ensuring that each patient feels heard, respected, and well-cared for. Thank you for considering me for your healthcare needs. Treatment philosophy: I am a Board Certified Psychiatric mental health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the care of adolescents and adults. She assesses, evaluates, diagnoses, and treats a variety of mental health disorders, including ADHD, Anxiety disorders, Mood disorders, and Personality disorders. I also include comprehensive assessment, medication management, and psychotherapy to achieve a better mental health outcome.

Hello, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who enjoys working with individuals from ages 18 to 65 who are seeking a variety of treatment options to improve their mental health. In addition to medication management, I can offer several therapy and biofeedback resources to help manage and improve complex mental health issues and overall daily function. For my ADHD clients, I offer nonstimulant medications as well as biofeedback options, but I do not prescribe amphetamines for this diagnosis. I specialize in treating adults and veterans who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, brain injury, sleep issues, and ADHD. For those challenged with treatment resistant depression, I have access to resources that provide both Ketamine and TMS services throughout the Dallas area. I am licensed in both Texas and Missouri. I believe in developing rapport, cultivating trust, and working with my clients where they are at while offering them alternative options (not just medications) for their mental health journey.

As a Texas based Licensed Professional Counselor, my goal is to be an effective and empathetic counselor empowering individuals by assisting them to understand and overcome personal, social, and behavioral problems affecting their development or preventing them from reaching their greatest potential. Working from a holistic approach that addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of the whole person, my hope is to use my many years of experience to help individuals work through difficulties such as managing mental health symptoms and disorders, unemployment or underemployment, adjusting to life’s changes or starting a journey towards recovery. I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and advanced graduate study in Rehabilitative Counseling but more importantly, I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and encouraging them to become their best selves. As a woman, a working professional, and a mother, I get that life gets hectic sometimes. At the center of it all is you and you deserve peace of mind. I can help you find that peace and support you in reaching your goals.

Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, it's time to get some help. I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. You deserve to feel better. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.
