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.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

212 West Main Street, Carrboro, NC

I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.


I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.


Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.

Virtual • Candler, NC


I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.

Caroline Myers

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm Brook Myers, LCMHC/LPC, and I own and operate Umberger Wellness Solutions, a telehealth practice serving clients in North Carolina and Texas. My approach to therapy is built around a simple belief: meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely supported, understood, and appropriately challenged—not when someone simply listens and sends you on your way. I work with children ages 6+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, grief, ADD/ADHD, learning challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Before moving into clinical mental health counseling, I spent eight years working in education and school counseling, which continues to shape my work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Therapy with me isn't one-size-fits-all. I adapt my approach to the person in front of me because what works for one client may not work for another. I believe you're the expert on your own life, while my role is to help you recognize patterns, develop practical skills, work through difficult experiences, and sometimes challenge you to look at things differently. The goal is for therapy to feel like something we're doing together—not something being done to you.

233-A Merchants Circle, Hampstead, NC

I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife, with graduate education from Duke University and East Carolina University.

I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care and have a special interest in supporting women across the lifespan, as well as veterans, military spouses, and children navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions.

My connection to the military community is both professional and deeply personal. In addition to my clinical training, I have spent more than 20 years as part of a military family. This experience has given me firsthand insight into the unique sacrifices, resilience, and often unseen challenges faced by service members and their loved ones. It has strengthened my commitment to providing care that is empathetic, respectful, and grounded in an understanding of military life.

For the past 12 years as a Certified Nurse Midwife, I have had the privilege of caring for women throughout every stage of life, supporting not only their physical health but also their emotional and mental well-being. It has been an honor to walk alongside women during some of their most meaningful and vulnerable moments, and I am grateful to continue that work by helping individuals achieve greater mental wellness and resilience.

Happy patient looking away

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 Boone

Searching for therapists in Boone starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a Boone therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other therapy styles.

Boone is a smaller market, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their session format fits your schedule. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Boone can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists in Boone, NC who are accepting new patients, and many have insurance information available so you can check coverage before booking. You can compare specialties, review bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
