Psychiatric care depends on more than experience. It also requires state licensure that allows providers to deliver care legally and safely. At Cura Mind and Wellness, every patient is matched with a provider who is fully licensed in their state. This ensures therapy, psychopharmacology, and telehealth services meet both professional and regulatory standards.
Our care is directed by Vivian Emuobe, MSN, BSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in multiple states. She combines clinical leadership, advanced training, and experience across inpatient and outpatient psychiatry to provide high quality care wherever she is licensed to practice.

Why state licensure matters
Every state has its own rules for psychiatric practice, including prescribing authority, supervision, telehealth regulations, and continuing education. By maintaining multiple licenses, Cura Mind and Wellness ensures that patients across different regions receive:
- Legally compliant care, aligned with state-specific laws,
- Consistent standards, evidence-based methods across settings,
- Telehealth access, availability in states where licensure is active,
- Safety and accountability, with oversight from state boards of nursing or psychology,
- Expanded access, patients in both large cities and smaller towns benefit from licensed care.
