My name is Marie. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being.

Hi, my name is Geralda Gelus-Jules, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work with adults and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood changes, and life stressors.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged.

As a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with a holistic view of you as a whole person—mind, body, culture, family, and environment. My goal is to help you feel more stable, hopeful, and in control of your life again.
I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

I’m Dr. Obianuju C. N. Ogbonnia-Okoye, DNP, PMHNP-BC, APN, MSN, MBA, founder of BeYou Psychiatry Associates LLC.

I’m a direct, down-to-earth provider who values honesty, efficiency, and clear communication. I focus on practical, evidence-based care and avoid unnecessary medications. My goal is to help you feel better with a plan that actually works in your day-to-day life.
Hello, I’m Folasade, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of nursing experience and more than 12 years dedicated to psychiatric care. For the past two years, I’ve specialized in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges—from mood and anxiety disorders to complex psychiatric conditions.
I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.
My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.
Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.
Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.

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 Maplewood
Finding the right psychiatrist in Maplewood starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and clinical focus match your needs.
In a smaller community like Maplewood, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose based on fit, schedule, and insurance. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for details about their approach, appointment format, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Maplewood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, confirm coverage for your plan, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, so you can compare bios, choose a fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
