About Us
Beatrice Mkubwa, PMHNP-BC
With over 20 years of experience in diverse psychiatric settings, I provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, medication management, and psychotherapy for individuals aged six and older. I serve patients via telehealth in Texas, Washington, and Arizona, with in-person visits available in Texas upon request.
​
I use an outcome-based approach by actively seeking your feedback on whether your life is improving in the areas that matter most. When you report progress, we know we're on track; if progress is slow or stalled, we reexamine our strategy and explore new approaches together. I integrate evidence-based practices with your personal preferences to create holistic treatment plans, addressing emotional, physical, environmental, spiritual, cultural, and rational dimensions of your life.

Why I Became a Mental Health Provider
Beatrice’s journey in healthcare began as a nursing assistant while working to fund her college education. This experience ignited her passion for helping others, leading her through various medical fields, including acute care, med/tele, home health, and physical rehabilitation. These roles honed her diagnostic and assessment skills, preparing her to deliver high-quality psychiatric care.
​
At the core of her practice is a deep belief in human potential—the ability to heal, grow, and thrive despite challenges. She never gives up on her patients and is dedicated to helping them build a brighter future through tailored, compassionate care.
