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.

Happy patient looking away

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 Durham

Finding the right psychiatrist in Durham starts with understanding the kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may include an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments guided by your clinician. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or related concerns, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.

In a mid-sized city like Durham, your search may include psychiatrists near Duke University, downtown, Old West Durham, Lakewood, and other nearby areas. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a psychiatrist whose availability fits your schedule. Psychiatry visits, especially 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. Provider bios can help you compare session format, scheduling options, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Durham can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, may accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated costs before you book, review profiles, and schedule 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.
