Ifeoma Okani

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges.

Valetta Rhinehart

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Asheville

Searching for therapists in Asheville starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. Asheville therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Asheville is a smaller city, so local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy in Asheville, NC can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

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 expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists in Asheville, NC who are accepting new patients and offer clear cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
