I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in inpatient behavioral health, where I worked closely with individuals navigating acute and complex mental health and substance use challenges.

During that time, I had the opportunity to train alongside and learn from highly experienced psychiatrists and clinicians, which strongly shaped my clinical approach. That foundation continues to guide how I practice today – thoughtfully, carefully, and with a strong emphasis on getting treatment right.

I now work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance or alcohol use concerns, as well as other mental health conditions.

My goal is to provide care that is both clinically sound and genuinely helpful in day-to-day life.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), which allows me to care for both mental and physical health in a more integrated way. I work with individuals across the lifespan and support a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic symptoms, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and stress-related challenges.

My background in both psychiatry and primary care helps me understand how closely mental health is connected to physical health, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practice.

I, Ifeoma Okani, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, OCD, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addiction. Many of my clients are juggling multiple roles and seek a safe, culturally sensitive space where they feel truly heard and understood. Their goal isn’t just to feel better but to reconnect with themselves, heal from past pain, and thrive emotionally. They want personalized, compassionate care that supports meaningful growth, not just symptom relief. I help by providing a safe, culturally sensitive space where you’ll feel heard and supported. Using compassionate, evidence-based care, I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy tailored to your needs. In our early sessions, we’ll build trust, explore your concerns, and create a personalized plan to support your healing. My practice is unique because I focus not only on symptom relief but on helping clients reconnect with themselves, heal deeply, and thrive long-term. I’m passionate about supporting others so they never feel alone in their struggles. I am committed to providing the support, insight, and clinical expertise you need to restore your peace and well-being.

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 Apex

Finding psychiatrists in Apex starts with knowing which type of support fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how your current care plan is working, and making updates with a qualified prescriber. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a prescriber, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.

Apex is a smaller market, so local psychiatry appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for care from someone licensed in North Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer the session format that fits your schedule. Medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and reading bios can help you understand each person’s focus, communication style, and approach before you book.

Psychiatric care in Apex 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients with your plan, review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.

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