Meet Your Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Chris Mokongu, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Chris Mokongu, PMHNP

I am Chris Mokongu, at Kind Waters. I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade experience helping kids, teens, and adults navigate life's challenges. I believe mental health care should feel human, not rushed, and at Kind Waters, that's exactly what you'll find.

I've worked with people from all walks of life, and I know healing isn't one-size-fits-all. That's why I tailor every care plan to you, not just your diagnosis. Whether you're navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood challenges, I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with genuine compassion to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

If medication is part of your journey, we'll approach it as a conversation, not a checklist, exploring what works, what doesn't, and how it fits into the bigger picture of your healing. I also collaborate with therapists (or help connect you with one) so your psychiatric medication management feels connected, not scattered.

At Kind Waters, you'll find a partner who listens deeply, cares intentionally, and walks with you at your pace, because you deserve mental health care that truly fits your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, therapy is not required for psychiatric medication management. While we encourage the combination of medication and counseling for optimal mental health outcomes, we understand that some individuals may only need medication support. Our psychiatric nurse practitioner can provide standalone medication management services while also helping coordinate with therapy services if desired.

Absolutely! Collaboration with your current therapist is a cornerstone of our approach. With your permission, we coordinate closely with your therapy provider to ensure your psychiatric care and counseling work together seamlessly. This integrated approach often leads to better treatment outcomes and more comprehensive mental health support.

Follow-up frequency depends on your individual needs and medication type. Initially, we typically schedule appointments every 2-4 weeks to monitor medication effectiveness and side effects. Once your psychiatric medication is stable, visits may extend to every 1-3 months. For controlled medications or complex cases, more frequent monitoring may be necessary.

Yes, as a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Chris can prescribe controlled medications when clinically appropriate. This includes medications for ADHD, anxiety disorders, and other conditions requiring controlled substances. Prescription monitoring and regular patient evaluation are integral parts of our controlled medication management to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
