MIU Center was created by Dr. Munachim Uyanwune in 2021. Dr. Uyanwune fondly known as “Dr. U” was inspired to create this practice in response to all the turbulent events in 2020, particularly the coronavirus pandemic, racial discrimination and the stigma associated with mental health. While growing up, Dr. Uyanwune saw untreated mental illness in her community. She learned that the impact of this extends wide, affecting the individual, their family and their community at large. At MIU Center, we realize people are unique and hence each person will require different approaches in helping them reach their vision and goals. MIU Center provides medication management for treatment of behavioral health disorders.
“During the most difficult and trying period of my life and career I found Dr. U. From day one, I felt seen, heard and most importantly not "judged". The issues I needed to bring before her were sensitive and delicate but she made me feel comfortable exploring these matters and even providing quality support and advice through the process. I will miss her guidance tremendously. For those who seek her counsel and therapy in the future, know that you have a very special and expert therapist.”
