Professional statement

Nurse practitioner Stella Abaaba works with clients who are seeking relief from ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns. Many of her clients come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, and they are looking for a provider who listens, understands, and partners with them in care. Stella creates a welcoming environment where clients feel safe to share their struggles and supported as they take steps toward healing.

Her therapy approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs. Stella combines evidence-based practices with a holistic focus on overall well-being, offering both medication management and supportive therapy. She believes that lasting change comes from treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and she works closely with clients to develop practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and long-term stability.

Stella brings years of experience in medical practice, with a strong background in both primary care and psychiatry. Through these roles, she has gained expertise in managing complex mental health concerns while also recognizing the importance of family-centered and holistic care. Her training and professional experience allow her to bridge the gap between physical and emotional health, ensuring that clients receive thoughtful and comprehensive treatment.

Stella offers both in-person and remote sessions, making care accessible and flexible to meet the needs of her clients. She is committed to seeing new patients promptly—often within 48 hours—and provides ADHD testing as part of her services. Whether clients prefer the comfort of their own home or the support of face-to-face visits, Stella strives to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps each individual move toward balance, healing, and growth.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story without judgment. I believe that healing works best when we work as a team, so your goals, values, and voice will always guide the direction of our sessions.

I understand that life can feel overwhelming when focus slips, anxiety takes over, or mood changes affect your daily life. My hope for you is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, where we can identify what’s holding you back, and where you can begin building the tools to feel more balanced and confident. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels realistic, compassionate, and tailored to your needs.

Most of all, I want you to know that lasting change is possible. Whether you’re here for medication management, therapy, or both, I’m committed to walking alongside you with care and respect as you take each step toward healing.
