Beatrice Onifade

Beatrice Onifade

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Mexico


I'm Beatrice Onifade, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and founder of Calm Horizons Behavioral Health. With over 5,000 hours of psychiatric practice, a background in intensive care nursing, and experience in leadership at a children's psychiatric hospital, I bring a unique combination of clinical expertise, compassion, and whole-person care to mental health treatment.

What makes me different? My experience extends beyond routine psychiatric appointments. Working in psychiatric hospital settings and previously as an ICU nurse has strengthened my ability to recognize complex symptoms, understand the connection between physical and mental health, and develop thoughtful, individualized treatment plans. I don't believe in rushing appointments, treating patients as diagnoses, or prescribing medication without understanding the person behind the symptoms.

I specialize in psychiatric evaluations, ADHD treatment, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma-related conditions, and medication management. Whether you're struggling with racing thoughts, poor concentration, panic attacks, emotional exhaustion, mood changes, or medications that haven't worked as expected, I take time to listen, evaluate your concerns, and explore treatment options with you.

My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care, medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and practical coping strategies to improve your daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Through convenient telehealth appointments, I serve patients in multiple states, including Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Washington.

You deserve more than a prescription—you deserve to be heard, understood, and supported. Let's work together toward better mental health, renewed confidence, and lasting wellness.

Stephanie Horner

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Hello. My name is Stephanie. I have been in healthcare and mental health for 35 years, 10 years in nursing, and 25 in counseling and therapy. I have been a high-risk labor and delivery nurse, a school district health director, an at-risk program developer, and a mental health counselor/therapist for children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and special needs and their parents. I now work primarily with an adult population. My experience has given me a broad understanding of people dealing with difficult issues and stressors in their lives. I am experienced in helping individuals with ADHD, change, adjustment, esteem, anxiety, trauma, and depression, and parenting. I am kind, gentle, empathetic, positive, funny and a good listener. I am also serious, thoughtful, holistic, client-centered, and solution-focused. My goal as a therapist is to help you find solutions to the Issues (problems) that have brought you to counseling. I want to help guide you through the process of determining the relevant issues, your wants and needs, and identifying skills and techniques to build solutions that can continue to serve you through, not only the immediate problem, but throughout life as well. My goal is to empower you through life's challenges, transitions and growth.
