Compassionate Care, Personalized for You
Our goal is to understand the whole person — not simply a diagnosis. Through thoughtful psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and wellness-focused support, we partner with you toward improved emotional health, greater stability, and a better quality of life.
Mental health is complex, and effective treatment requires more than a single visit or a single solution. At Matehliz, care is collaborative — bringing together evaluation, therapy, and ongoing follow-up under one roof.
Matehliz also offers Family Therapy, Couples Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) — tailored to your specific needs.
Can’t make it in person? Matehliz offers secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual appointments — the same clinical quality as an in-office visit.
DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC — Founder, Matehliz Mental Healthcare
Welcome to Matehliz Mental Healthcare. I’m Dr. Anna Ngwafu, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 18 years of nursing experience and a deep passion for helping people feel heard, understood, and supported.
I understand that reaching out for mental health care can feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty focusing, changes in your mood, trauma, sleepless nights, or simply feeling unlike yourself. Whatever brings you to us, you deserve a space where you can share your story without judgment and receive care that is personalized to your needs.
I founded Matehliz with a vision of creating a compassionate and welcoming practice where individuals and families can access high-quality psychiatric care, medication management, psychotherapy, and emotional wellness support. Our approach is collaborative and centered on the whole person. As Matehliz grows, our vision is to bring together caring psychiatric providers and therapists who share the same commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.
“I look forward to walking this journey with you.”
What stood out most was that my care plan wasn’t just about symptoms — we talked about sleep, stress, and daily routines too. It’s the first time a provider looked at my mental health that holistically.
Every follow-up appointment is unhurried — we actually talk through how I’ve been feeling and adjust things together instead of just renewing a prescription. That collaborative approach has made a real difference.
“I was skeptical about virtual appointments, but the video visits have been just as attentive as sitting in the office. It’s made it so much easier to stay consistent with my care around a busy work schedule.”
“I called on a Monday expecting a long wait, and I was seen that same week. The intake process was thorough but never felt clinical or cold. It made a hard moment so much easier to get through.”
After years of feeling rushed through appointments elsewhere, coming to Matehliz was a completely different experience. Dr. Ngwafu took the time to understand my whole history, not just my symptoms. I feel like an active partner in my own care now.
Same-week appointments are often available. Insurance and self-pay accepted, including online payment through Zelle. Reach out today to take the first step — and ask about our 15-minute new patient consultation.
