At Cura Mind and Wellness, patients across the Houston metro receive treatment for a wide spectrum of psychiatric and behavioral health conditions. Our practice provides in person services in Richmond, TX, along with secure telepsychiatry throughout Houston and Fort Bend County.
Care is directed by Vivian Emuobe, MSN, BSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with hospital and outpatient experience, program leadership, and advanced training in medication management. She combines evidence based therapy, precise medication decisions, and supportive lifestyle planning to deliver care that is effective, practical, and personal.
Spotlight on key conditions
- Anxiety disorders: Persistent worry, restlessness, racing thoughts, and physical symptoms like sweating or palpitations can disrupt work and relationships. Our plans may include CBT, mindfulness strategies, and medication when appropriate.
- Depression: Low energy, sadness, loss of interest, sleep changes, and hopelessness are treatable with a blend of therapy, structured routines, and antidepressant medication when indicated. We emphasize progress markers beyond mood, such as restored function and motivation.
- Panic attack disorder: Panic feels like a heart attack: chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness. We use CBT, exposure, and grounding skills, with SSRIs or short term anxiolytics when appropriate.
- PTSD: Flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, and hyperarousal can follow trauma. We provide trauma informed therapy, medication support, and advanced options like TMS or ketamine when depression overlaps.
- OCD: Obsessions and compulsions consume time and energy. CBT with exposure and response prevention is first line, paired with medication management.
- ADHD: Distractibility, procrastination, and restlessness disrupt daily life. We offer ADHD testing and diagnosis, therapy, coaching strategies, and stimulant or non stimulant medication when indicated.
- Bipolar disorder: Cycles of depression and mania require careful management. We use mood stabilizers, antipsychotics when needed, therapy for stability, and monitoring for safety.
- Borderline Personality Disorder: Intense emotions, unstable relationships, and fear of abandonment benefit from DBT, trauma informed therapy, and consistent support.
- Sleep disorders: Insomnia, circadian rhythm disruption, and night waking impact both body and mind. We integrate CBT I, sleep hygiene, medication when appropriate, and medical referrals if apnea is suspected.
- Adjustment disorders: When stressors such as job changes, relocation, divorce, or illness overwhelm coping, structured therapy and short term medication can restore balance.
- Dual diagnosis / substance use: Many patients self medicate with alcohol or drugs. We provide integrated care for both psychiatric and substance use conditions, including medication assisted treatment, CBT, and relapse prevention.
- Medical weight loss: We support patients whose mental health is affected by weight related concerns. Options may include Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, alongside therapy for body image, nutrition counseling, and structured wellness planning.
Our treatment philosophy
Many conditions overlap, and symptoms often blur together. Anxiety can look like ADHD. Depression can feel like exhaustion. Sleep loss can mimic memory decline. Trauma can echo across years as panic, irritability, or avoidance.
That is why Cura emphasizes:
- Accurate diagnosis, through structured evaluation and testing,
- Integrated treatment, combining therapy, medication, and lifestyle strategies,
- Cultural sensitivity, respectful care that meets patients where they are,
- Accessibility, in person in Richmond and telehealth across Houston,
- Collaboration, coordination with therapists, primary care, or specialists when helpful.
Houston context, care that fits your life

Cura designs treatment for this reality, practical and flexible, with both in person and telehealth access.
