Medication Management
We use evidence-based medications when appropriate, but always with a thoughtful, minimalistic approach. As part of our integrative Christian psychiatry services in Austin, medications are paired with natural and holistic strategies to reduce side effects and support whole-person wellness.
-
Lab testing
Understanding your body’s chemistry is key to effective care. We conduct lab work to uncover potential nutrient deficiencies that may affect your mental health, and offer pharmacogenetic testing to guide medication decisions based on how your body responds at a genetic level.
-
Supplements
Supplements can play an important role in balancing mood, supporting focus, and improving energy levels. As part of our Christian psychiatric care for women in Austin, we provide clear, safe, and informed guidance on the best supplements for your unique needs, ensuring compatibility with your medications and overall goals.

Lifestyle coaching
Small changes in your daily routine can lead to powerful results. Through Christian counseling and lifestyle coaching, we’ll work together on habits related to sleep, nutrition, and movement. We'll also help you identify the values and rhythms that support peace, joy, and spiritual growth in your everyday life.

Psychotherapy
Therapy is a cornerstone of healing. We offer Christian-based psychotherapy for women in Austin, drawing from methods like ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), attachment theory, and mindfulness—all through a faith-based lens. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and create space for healthier, more grace-filled ways of thinking and living.

Mind-body Medicine
As part of our holistic approach to Christian psychiatry in Austin, we help you strengthen the connection between your emotional, physical, and spiritual health. We teach Christian mindfulness and spiritual practices that help regulate emotions, deepen your relationship with God, and nurture your inner peace.
What Clients Say

I just want you to know you've helped me so much. Event at the lowest point of my life, you've been so kind and understanding. You also understand the culture piece and how it affects things. Sometimes I think about "what would Nkenna say"

I was hesitant about seeking care because I've had negative experiences in the past. Nkenna was patient, she listened to me and did not push me into treatments I did not want. She also takes her time to explain things and I never feel rushed.
