Dr. Olukemi Omogoke

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


You should know that I take your concerns seriously, and I will meet you with compassion, respect, and zero judgment. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you have faced stigma, felt dismissed in the past, or worried about what a diagnosis might mean. My goal is to help you feel safe and at ease from the very first conversation.

As a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in psychiatric and mental health care, I work with individuals across the lifespan. I commonly support people navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other emotional or behavioral health challenges. I approach each person as a whole, not a label, and I take the time to understand your symptoms in the context of your life, your stressors, your strengths, and your goals.

In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and involved, so we will discuss what you are experiencing, what has helped or not helped in the past, and what you want to be different moving forward. If medication is part of your care, I prioritize thoughtful, evidence-based decisions, clear education about options, and ongoing adjustments based on your response and preferences. I also value practical strategies and supportive guidance that you can apply between sessions.

Most importantly, I am passionate about each person I serve because I know you are important, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek help. My role is to offer steady, professional support and a trusting relationship as you work toward clarity, stability, and lasting wellness.

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


I believe therapy and growth starts with the relationship client and therapist. I'm here for clients when life is going to life. Many of the tools and strategies I use with clients are ones I've successful used and practice in my own journey in therapy. I practice a lot of grace, patience and empathy and respect where clients want to go and the pace they want to grow. I use a combination of a lot of fancy therapy acronyms with clients from DBT, IFS and CBT. I specialize in substance abuse disorder, anxiety, depression and working with teens and young adults.
