With offices in Boston, MA, Richmond, TX, Riverside, CA, and Portland, OR, we provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to help individuals find balance, hope, and long-term well-being. Our care is led by Vivian Emuobe, MSN, BSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered treatment.
Our Mission and Philosophy
At Cura Mind & Wellness, our goal is to provide personalized, trauma-informed care that treats the whole person — not just the diagnosis. We create a supportive environment where every patient feels seen, heard, and respected.
Our approach emphasizes:
- Dignity and compassion in every interaction.
- Collaborative care, where patients actively participate in treatment decisions.
- Culturally sensitive psychiatry, recognizing how culture and identity influence mental health.
- Evidence-based methods to ensure treatment effectiveness and safety.
Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, or life transitions, Cura Mind & Wellness is here to guide you toward stability and wellness — with care rooted in empathy and clinical excellence.
