Ben Ekwe, PhD, PMHNP-BC
Hello, I’m Dr. Ben Ekwe, a board-certified psychiatry nurse practitioner specializing in mood and anxiety disorders. After over twenty years of working in behavioral health, I decided to set up a clinic where I can provide one-to-one care to my clients. The birth of balanced life health and counselling services LLC was created with client advocacy, community partnership, and client empowerment at its core.
My goal is to create an environment where people will be comfortable in sharing their feelings, experiences, and mental health problems. I combine evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy and collaborative care to help patients regain balance and function. I treat adults and adolescents with ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. I focus on clear communication, shared decision-making, and measurable progress.
My other goal is to listen carefully, understand your experience, and work with you on a practical plan to reduce symptoms and improve daily life. We’ll move at your pace and make decisions together. I value safety, respect, and partnership. I use proven treatments and tailor them to what matters most to you—symptom relief, relationships, work, or overall well-being.
