Hi, I’m happy that you have made it here! My name is Wale Okerayi (she/her) and I am a Psychotherapist serving folks in New York & Texas. I grew up in Houston, Texas and then moved to New York City where I received a double masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College Columbia University.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and couples in both private practice and clinical settings. I am passionate about helping clients navigate life's challenges, strengthen emotional well-being, and build meaningful, lasting change.
Hi! I'm Kristen.
If you are navigating a difficult chapter of your life, are feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious, and wondering how to move forward, I would be honored to help.
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Touro University in New York. During my graduate training, I completed my clinical hours at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both New York and Florida.
I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.
I am a board- certified psychiatric nurse practitioner committed to compassionate, ethical, and individualized mental health care.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy based on psychoanalytical self psychology training.
I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Brooklyn
Finding postpartum therapists in Brooklyn starts with looking for experience in perinatal mental health care. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties in postpartum, prenatal depression, maternal mental health therapy, or perinatal support. A PMH-C credential can also signal advanced training in care during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
Brooklyn has many therapists across neighborhoods, but the right match also needs to fit your schedule, location, and care needs. For new parents, virtual therapy can make it easier to meet with a therapist during unpredictable schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, experience as a therapist for new moms, and what sessions may look like before you book.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant investment 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 postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
