At CopeWell Psychiatry & Wellness, our psychiatric nurse practitioner, Dr. Udo Chukwuocha, DNP, believes that understanding the whole person begins with understanding the whole body. Through specialized lab testing and genetic evaluation, she helps patients uncover underlying biological and nutritional factors that may influence mood, focus, and overall mental health.
