I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
I spent more than 15 years working as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient state mental health facility, which provided a strong foundation in managing complex mental health conditions. I am proud to have been one of the pioneers involved in establishing Youth Behavioral Health services, helping guide its successful accreditation and commitment to maintaining high standards of care.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I have advanced my practice working in both youth and adult inpatient behavioral health settings, including roles with UNC Youth Behavioral Health Hospital in Butner and UNC Johnston Health. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health disorders, conducting crisis assessments, and providing timely referrals for individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric, substance use, neurocognitive, or developmental challenges.
In 2018, I independently developed an alternative psychotherapy-based psychosocial treatment program to support patients in crisis at UNC Wakebrook, reflecting my commitment to innovation in mental health care.
I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families. My clinical strengths include psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, crisis stabilization, maintenance treatment and leadership, all of which guide my mission to improve mental health outcomes and support individuals on their path to recovery.
I’m a Raleigh-based licensed clinical mental health therapist offering services across North Carolina. I work with adolescents and young adults and specialize in anxiety management, emotional resilience, and relationship building.
Martha Ochako is a Board-Certified PMHNP who is competent in assessing patients, diagnosing disorders, and prescribing appropriate treatments. She does not just cover a symptom with a drug before investigating and addressing its root causes.
She graduated from Metro State University, in MN with an E L M Sc. in nursing. She completed a Post Masters Certification of PHMNP from R M University of Health Professions, Utah. She holds a doctorate (DHSC) from Nova SE University, Florida.
Accepting new patients. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Holsan Behavioral Health who provides medication management with psychotherapy to ages six and older. I offer in-person appointments in Raleigh, NC, and telehealth services across the state of North Carolina. I specialize in attention difficulties, behavioral challenges, mood challenges, anxiety, psychosis, personality disorders, sleep, military issues, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is anchored in trauma informed, creative and mind-body practices, ensuring that the people with whom I work receive high quality care that addresses their concerns at the heart, as this is where we see real, transformational change. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, (CCTP-II) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
I work with motivated individuals seeking relief from chronic pain as well as reduced stress and anxiety in their personal lives or at work. Chronic pain conditions that I treat include but are not limited to neck and back pain, headaches, pelvic pain, IBS, tinnitus, and fibromyalgia.
My approach is very goal and solution-oriented.
I have 20 years of experience in healthcare and firmly believe that mental health is essential to overall health. I am excited about the changes in our culture that have shined a spotlight on mental health. I believe it is time to fight stigmas and continue to promote emotional well-being. I'm a board-certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and specialize in managing mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorders, with approaches tailored to each client’s needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fayetteville
Finding OCD therapists in Fayetteville starts with looking for the right clinical training. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, or anxiety related to OCD, review therapist profiles for OCD experience and specific ERP training. Some therapists may also list approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, your search may include both local in-office therapists and virtual therapists licensed in North Carolina. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want a therapist with specific OCD experience or need appointment times that fit your schedule. As you compare therapists, look beyond whether they list OCD as a specialty. Review their bios for ERP training, how they describe their session structure, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, take insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
