Why patients choose us
Local psychiatric care without the handoff.
Livingston patients often balance work, family, medical appointments, and caregiving. A consistent video option can make follow-up easier to keep.
The care stays anchored by a New Jersey clinician who can coordinate with your other providers when you give consent.
Maplewood Mental Health Clinic is intentionally small. The point is not to move you through a system; it is to understand what is happening, explain options clearly, and keep the treatment plan with one clinician who remembers the context.
How care works
Evaluation, medication, and follow-up in one place.
The first clinical visit is a structured psychiatric evaluation. Teresa reviews your symptoms, history, prior treatment, medications, medical factors, safety, and goals before recommending a plan.
If medication is appropriate, decisions are made with context: what has helped before, what has caused side effects, what you are worried about, and what you want treatment to change. Brief supportive therapy and care coordination can be part of follow-up visits.
When in-person care is needed, the Maplewood visit is scheduled deliberately and tied to a clear purpose. Our office is at 1585 Springfield Avenue, Maplewood (free on-site parking).
Start with a free 15-minute call.
Currently accepting new patients ages 10+. New patients are usually scheduled within 24 hours. We talk through fit, timing, and insurance on the call — no obligation to book an evaluation. Sun–Fri 9am–7pm.

Safety
Outpatient care is not crisis care.
If you are in immediate danger, unable to stay safe, or worried you may harm yourself or someone else, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need immediate emotional crisis support, call or text 988.
Once the immediate safety concern is stabilized, outpatient psychiatric care can help with diagnosis, medication planning, therapy coordination, and follow-up.
Livingston questions
Before you book the call.
Can Livingston patients be seen by telehealth?
Often, yes. Many Livingston patients use telehealth for outpatient psychiatric care while physically located in New Jersey. If an in-person visit is needed, we plan the Maplewood office visit ahead of time.
Will I see the same clinician every visit?
Yes. Maplewood Mental Health Clinic is built around continuity. Teresa Omwenga, PMHNP-BC, is the clinician who evaluates you and follows up with you.
What happens before the first paid visit?
Most patients start with a free 15-minute call to confirm fit, insurance or self-pay questions, timing, and whether the first evaluation should be in person or by telehealth.
What if this clinic is not the right level of care?
Teresa will say that directly. If you need weekly psychotherapy, testing, inpatient care, emergency support, or a different specialty, the goal is to point you toward the right next step.
