I am Stanley Okeyemi, the founder of Brighter Light Behavioral Health Services. I am currently licensed as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Washington, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia and New York. I have been working in the mental health industry for 16 years, but licensed as a PMHNP for four years, with a vast amount of experience and affiliations with over 40 hospitals/clinics combined across the USA
I am a licensed clinical social worker who graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters in Social Work. Throughout my 12+ year career I have worked with a variety of people and have really found my skill set to be working with people dealing with OCD, depression, and anxiety. I like to incorporate elements of CBT, DBT, and mindfulness into my work.
I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be your authentic self without judgment. As the Founder and Lead Therapist of Healing Holistically, I take pride in creating a warm, compassionate environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe in treating the person as a whole by recognizing the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I’m here to meet you where you are, help you navigate life’s challenges, and support you in becoming the healthiest and most fulfilled version of yourself.
I see counseling as a walk between two people, a time to discuss the ups and downs of life. I am person centered; solution focused and draw from a wide range of CBT mindfulness and Accelerated Resolution Therapy techniques that will help my clients find their own unique path in life.
Welcome to Brain Balance Psychiatry, an integrative psychiatric model, based on provider-client alliance. Experience a collaborative partnership where you feel supported and empowered by your provider.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Asheville
Finding OCD therapists in Asheville starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD intrusive thoughts, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, avoidance, or the OCD cycle. Some therapists may also list approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, which can support OCD care when used by a therapist with relevant experience.
Asheville has a smaller mental health care market than many larger North Carolina cities, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices. This may help if you want a therapist with specific ERP training, a certain appointment time, or experience with related concerns like anxiety, compulsive disorder symptoms in adults, or obsessive behavior. When reading therapist profiles, look for the difference between a general mention of OCD and specific details about ERP training, session structure, and what the therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Asheville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
