Hello, I’m Ambrose Ukpebor, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and have worked extensively in crisis and community mental health settings, helping individuals stabilize and move toward recovery.

My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your mental health journey.
It’s wonderful to connect with you!
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that caring for your mental health is one of the most important steps you can take toward a fulfilling and stable life. Reaching out for support is often the hardest part, so I want to acknowledge your courage in doing so. With 25 years of experience in psychiatric nursing, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, and my primary focus has become helping those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.
I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
I spent more than 15 years working as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient state mental health facility, which provided a strong foundation in managing complex mental health conditions. I am proud to have been one of the pioneers involved in establishing Youth Behavioral Health services, helping guide its successful accreditation and commitment to maintaining high standards of care.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I have advanced my practice working in both youth and adult inpatient behavioral health settings, including roles with UNC Youth Behavioral Health Hospital in Butner and UNC Johnston Health. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health disorders, conducting crisis assessments, and providing timely referrals for individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric, substance use, neurocognitive, or developmental challenges.
In 2018, I independently developed an alternative psychotherapy-based psychosocial treatment program to support patients in crisis at UNC Wakebrook, reflecting my commitment to innovation in mental health care.
I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families. My clinical strengths include psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, crisis stabilization, maintenance treatment and leadership, all of which guide my mission to improve mental health outcomes and support individuals on their path to recovery.
The future of medicine extends beyond treating symptoms to preventing disease by identifying root causes and implementing pre-emptive strategies that support longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. This approach aligns with Medicine 3.0 versus Medicine 2.0, as described by Peter Attia, M.D. in Outlive (2023).
This philosophy is the guiding principle of my psychiatry practice, personal lifestyle, and ongoing research and education. I am particularly motivated to work with clients who are committed to addressing the upstream drivers of today’s most challenging psychiatric conditions, including Long COVID.

Hi, I'm Dr. Gina Hartmeier, a psychiatrist with decades of experience helping people find their way through some of life's most challenging moments. I earned my medical degree from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Medicine in 1984, and over the years I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of patients, including veterans who've given so much of themselves in service to others. That experience has shaped me into the clinician I am today — someone who meets people where they are, without judgment.
