About
The provider who listens
Before she wrote a single prescription, Theo Chukwudi spent years at the bedside as a nurse. And year after year, patients told her the same thing: "My provider does not listen to me."
Pinnacle Wellness is her answer to that sentence. Theo is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who treats adults across Michigan by telehealth. Her care is careful and unhurried. She follows clinical guidelines, personalizes every treatment plan, and coordinates with your primary care provider, so your mental health is never treated in isolation.
"I want to be a different provider, the one that listens to patients."
Philosophy
What patients say it feels like
Ask Theo what makes Pinnacle different and she will give you a numbered list. Here it is, in her order.
Heard
Number one, you have to feel heard. Patients stay at Pinnacle because, in their own words, she actually listens. Visits move at the pace of your story, not a checklist.
Never judged
Every book has a different cover. Whatever brings you in, you will not be judged for it, and you will not be rushed past it.
Compassionate
Nice and compassionate is how her patients describe her. Expect to feel relaxed, welcome, and understood from the first hello.
The name
Why "Pinnacle"
Pinnacle means the heights, the highest of the highs. And nobody gets there by flying. You go through some lows, you climb slowly, and you reach the top. Theo named her practice for that climb because she has made it herself, in her life and in her career, and because she knows most patients arrive somewhere in the middle of their own.
Patients have searched and searched, they have gone through numerous providers, and then they reach us. Hopefully we are the final bus stop.Theo Chukwudi, founder
Services
How Theo can help
Lifestyle Support
Not every visit calls for the prescription pad. Before it ever comes out, Theo looks at the whole of you, your sleep, diet, exercise, hygiene, and daily routines, and teaches the lifestyle changes that help on their own.
Medication Management
The core of the practice. Careful, guideline-driven prescribing, personalized to you and reviewed together at every visit. No two treatment plans look alike.
Supportive Therapy
Medication works better when someone listens. Visits make room for brief supportive therapy as needed, space to talk through what a prescription alone cannot fix.
Coordinated Care
With your permission, Theo collaborates with the other providers in your care, especially your primary care provider, so your treatment fits your whole health.
Conditions treated
Something else on your mind? Call and ask.
