At Cura Mind and Wellness, we believe mental health care should adapt to real life. For most patients, this means secure telehealth visits that offer privacy, convenience, and consistent access to care. For those who need or prefer face-to-face contact, limited in-person appointments are available at select office locations, depending on provider licensure.
Our team, led by Vivian Emuobe, MSN, BSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, delivers treatment that is evidence based, compassionate, and accessible. Telehealth is the primary way we serve patients across the states where we are licensed, and in-person care is reserved for visits that require an office setting.

Why offer both in person and telehealth
No two patients have the same needs, and care should reflect that. Most patients benefit from the convenience and privacy of telehealth, which allows treatment to continue from home, work, or school. Some prefer occasional in-person sessions for visits that require an office setting or for times when face-to-face interaction feels more supportive. Offering both formats ensures every patient can access care in a way that fits their life.
Benefits include:
- Choice:Â Patients select the format that feels most comfortable and effective,
- Continuity:Â Telehealth keeps treatment consistent when travel, weather, or illness disrupt schedules,
- Accessibility:Â People in remote or underserved areas can access specialized psychiatric care,
- Flexibility:Â Appointments can be scheduled more easily around work, school, and family routines,
- Consistency:Â Treatment continues even during life transitions or location changes.
How telehealth works at Cura
Telehealth sessions are delivered through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. Patients use a computer, tablet, or smartphone to connect with their provider. Appointments function just like in person visits, with medication management, therapy, follow ups, and progress tracking all included.
Typical services provided by telehealth may include:
- Initial psychiatric evaluations,
- Medication management,
- Individual psychotherapy sessions,
- Follow up appointments and check ins,
- Coaching and skill building sessions,
- Psychoeducation and wellness planning.
Availability depends on the state you are physically located in during the appointment, and whether our provider is licensed there.
In person therapy and psychopharmacology
For patients who prefer or need face to face care, in person services are available in select offices. These visits often include:
- Full psychiatric assessments,
- Medication management and monitoring,
- Psychotherapy sessions,
- ADHD testing and other diagnostic evaluations,
- Specialized services like gene testing to guide safe and effective medication choices.
Many patients choose to begin with in person sessions for a stronger therapeutic relationship, then transition to telehealth for convenience.
The blended model
A popular approach is a blended model that uses both formats:
- Begin in person for a comprehensive evaluation, testing, and rapport,
- Continue with telehealth for ongoing therapy, coaching, and medication follow up,
- Return in person during transitions, crises, or when hands on testing is needed,
- Alternate based on life circumstances, illness, or travel.
This flexibility provides the best of both worlds, balancing accessibility with connection.
