Therapist

You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or carrying the impact of trauma or stress that feels hard to manage on your own. Maybe family challenges or past experiences are affecting your relationships, your confidence, or your ability to feel like yourself. When everything feels heavy or uncertain, it can be hard to know where to start. You don’t have to figure it out alone — therapy can be a place where you feel supported, understood, and able to finally exhale.

Cyriaque Tetchi

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Naperville, IL


My practice centers on helping people work through depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder with care that actually fits their life. I've been in independent practice for about two years, and in that time I've found that the providers people stay with are the ones who listen well and adjust as things change. I'm a PMHNP with full practice authority, so I can manage medications and provide psychiatric services without a collaborating physician. I see clients via telehealth throughout Illinois, with flexible scheduling available Monday through Saturday. If you've been waiting to find someone who's approachable and genuinely wants to get you moving in the right direction, I'd like to be that person.

Therapist

Hello, I appreciate you wanting to find out more about me, and how I might be able to help you. I respect that you can speak for yourself and I understand the impact of trauma. I believe that the strength of the family unit is key to each member thriving. You may need to be heard, repair relationships, heal from being hurt and hurting others, or explore new ways of communicating. Facing fears and difficult decisions takes courage. Building better communication and stronger relationships takes time and effort. So, where to start? We can meet, and then you can decide if you feel comfortable with me.

Our time together with you or you and your spouse, partner, children, family means opportunities to find new ways to live. Learn appropriate communication, develop and strengthen bonds, find meaning from truthfully examining your life and choices. Whether 3 years old or 93, everyone can become healthier. Let's get to the heart of things at your pace.

Let’s get you up and out of whatever is weighing you down. Confidence in your choices is possible. Another way to communicate is possible. Peace in your home is possible. Being heard and understood is possible. Boundaries are possible. Forgiveness is possible. You may be closer to what you want and need than you realize. I believe I can help.
