I'm Reginald Ibe, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I provide telehealth psychiatric care to adults across Texas, Washington, New Mexico, and Nevada — diagnostic evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and insomnia.
My approach is collaborative and deliberate. I start low and titrate carefully, because the goal isn't just a lower symptom score — it's a life that feels workable to you. I'd rather have you on two medications that genuinely help than five that each do a little. I'll explain what I'm recommending and why, tell you what side effects to watch for, and expect you to push back if something isn't working. When therapy rather than another prescription is the right next step, I'll say so.

It’s okay to need support. Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, mood changes, trauma, depression, or panic begin affecting your ability to feel like yourself. You may notice your mind won’t slow down, your sleep is off, or it’s harder to focus and keep up with daily responsibilities. When stress builds or world events add to the weight you’re carrying, it can start to feel like too much to manage alone. Many people reach a point where coping strategies no longer feel like enough, and that’s often when support can make a real difference.
I believe care should feel personal, not rushed or one-size-fits-all. I take time to understand your story, not just your symptoms, and create a space where you feel comfortable being open without fear of judgment. I’ll be honest and supportive, helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing while offering guidance that feels practical and manageable.
My goal is to help you feel more balanced, clear, and confident in navigating your day-to-day life.
As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management.

My approach goes beyond medication alone, blending evidence-based psychiatric treatment with lifestyle and wellness strategies designed to restore balance and promote lasting emotional well-being.

My care combines thoughtful medication management with brief supportive therapy when appropriate, so treatment feels personal and connected.
