Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Elmira, NY covered by United Healthcare

Hello, I'm Olawande Awopetu, an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I am honored to serve as a psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to enhancing and safeguarding your mental well-being. With my extensive background in the field, I specialize in delivering empathetic and comprehensive care for a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia.

Starting therapy can give you space to slow down and talk through what you’re experiencing. I’m Keronica Grant, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) serving clients in New York. I work with people who are looking for support with their thoughts, feelings, or life circumstances. Whether you’re taking a first step toward therapy or returning to care, I welcome the opportunity to understand what brings you in, what matters to you, and what you hope to get from care.

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure why? Are you facing big life changes- starting out, starting over, or somewhere in between? I work with clients from young adults navigating independence to older adults facing loss, identity shifts, or new purpose. I aim to be a mirror, a soundboard, and a source of steady encouragement. I believe in showing up with transparency and compassion, and I value building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, involvement, and accountability. I am not afraid of tough conversations, so you don't have to fear sharing your truth.

I am currently employed full time as a clinical manager at a community mental health counseling center. I have spent several years practicing in mental health outpatient clinics as well as substance use outpatient clinics as a psychotherapist, group therapist, and supervisor. My passion for the connection and growth created in psychotherapy has motivated my private practice.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.

If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, school stress, or family conflict, therapy can be a place to feel understood and start making meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support clients in building coping skills, improving confidence, and finding practical ways to manage everyday challenges.

Over the past 15 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York and Nevada, I have had the privilege of walking alongside a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families. My passion is creating a safe, welcoming, and grounded space where you can share without judgment. I specialize in supporting both children and adults, with extensive experiences. I am also familiar with guiding neurodivergent individuals and those navigating intellectual, cognitive, or developmental differences. Wherever you are on your journey, I am here to help you feel heard, understood, and supported.

I specialize in working with adults ages 18-40, focusing on religious trauma, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, relationships, and LGBTQIA+ issues. My work is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and incorporates CBT & DBT skills according to each client's needs.
