About
As a queer-identified man of color, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and intersectionality. I care for my clients with empathy, cultural awareness, and a collaborative approach, creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to navigate your changes and grow.
My name is Jideofor Azie. I am a compassionate mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I have clinical experience working with diverse populations across a range of settings and draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based practices to tailor care to each individual's unique needs. I typically work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use challenges, schizophrenia, ADHD, life transitions, PTSD, and relationship challenges.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to assessment, medication management, and therapy. I consider biological, psychological, and social factors to tailor care to each person. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful approach combining medication, education, therapy, and coping strategies for well-being.
I understand that reaching out can feel like a big and sometimes uncertain step, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you move toward greater balance and well-being. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment—I would be honored to work alongside you.

Cannabis use disorder counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Georgetown can help people manage their urges to use cannabis. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their cannabis use disorder, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as those that their disorder may stem from, like trauma.
Cannabis use disorder counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their disorder, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing cannabis use disorder counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Cannabis use disorder counseling at Thriveworks Georgetown, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of cannabis use disorder counseling in Georgetown depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their disorder, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in cannabis use disorder counseling in the first weeks to months.
Reality is that many people use cannabis without forming an addiction while others form a dependency, kind of like alcohol use. About 30 percent of users will become addicted, and the rates for daily users increase. If you feel like you are using weed more often and/or in larger quantities, you are not the only one. Many people struggle. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) now recognizes the struggle as Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD).
The therapists at Thriveworks Georgetown treat Cannabis Use Disorder and have provided guidance and support for many people who have detoxed from pot and learned to live without it. If you think you could benefit from Cannabis Use Disorder Counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Georgetown today to get started.
The DSM-5’s definition for Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) can clarify the difference. CUD is defined as pot use for a minimum of one year while experiencing hindered daily functioning and increased life disruptions as measured by the presence of at least two of the following symptoms:
CUD can vary in its severity and intensity. DSM-5 gives a scale for the disorder that is based upon the number of symptoms a person displays. With Mild CUD, people experience two to three symptoms. With Moderate CUD, people experience four to five symptoms. With Severe CUD, people experience six or more symptoms.
There are particular circumstances and contexts that may contribute to the likelihood of a person developing Cannabis Use Disorder. The DSM-5 acknowledges that the following factors may increase a person’s risk:
The body stores, THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis, in its fat cells, making detox harder. Cleansing the body of water soluble compounds is an easier process. Detoxing from cannabis, therefore, may take time. During detox, people have felt the effects of pot for weeks or even months after their final use.
Treating CUD can be difficult, and many have overcome that difficulty with the help of therapy. Counseling has prepared many people to cope with detox and find healthier alternatives to deal with life’s stress. Therapy often treats the foundational causes of addiction and may help people resolve difficult emotions and memories.
Has your pot use become more consuming and complicated? Have you wondered if it may be time to quit, but you need support? Know that the therapists at Thriveworks Georgetown treat CUD and are ready to support you in your journey.
Appointments to treat CUD are available, and when you call our office, we want you to experience the care we provide, from the moment you dial our number. It’s why a scheduling specialist (i.e., a person) will answer your call and set up your treatment. It’s why many clients see their therapist within the week of their call. It’s why after-hours sessions are available. It’s why we work with many insurance providers. We want our clients to receive the quality care they deserve.
If you are ready to treat CUD, we are ready to help. Call today.
