I was born and raised in one of Nigeria’s vibrant and bustling cities, where I learned the values of community, resilience, and compassion from an early age. Inspired by a deep desire to make a difference in people’s lives, I pursued my education in health care. This journey has been a blessing and a privilege, allowing me to work in health care and provide care for the people I love and serve.

My family and I have built a home filled with love and laughter. They bring joy and inspiration to my life every day. I'm excited to support my clients in bringing that same love and joy and laughter back into their own lives.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Georgia

Searching for psychiatrists in Georgia starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or another concern, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach to see how closely they match what you want help with.

Across Georgia, your options may look different in larger cities like Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah than in smaller communities. In-person appointments may be available near you, while virtual appointments can give you more scheduling options across the state. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand appointment style, availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Georgia can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before an appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who take your plan, shows estimated session costs before you book, and verifies that listed psychiatrists are accepting new patients with your insurance. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific location and plan before booking.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
