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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Asheville
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Asheville starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a setting where their identity is understood and respected. Others may want focused support around coming out, gender identity, minority stress, or experiences with discrimination. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your search to providers with relevant experience.
Asheville has a strong LGBTQIA+ community, and many licensed therapists and psychiatrists in the area specialize in affirming care. Look for providers who explicitly list LGBTQIA+ support as a specialty, and read their bios to understand their approach and background. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers on Headway — can help you gauge whether a provider is the right match before committing to a session.
Therapy in Asheville can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
