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.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with years of experience walking alongside individuals and families through some of life's most tender and difficult chapters — aging, illness, caregiving, grief, and major life transitions. I've worked across hospital, hospice, palliative care, dementia care, and community settings, and that breadth has taught me that every person's story is deeply unique.
Im Kendra, I have a bachelors in fine art, and I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022. I draw on four years of working in community mental health with folks recovering from substance abuse and behaviors that no longer helpful or are directly harming relationships and mental health. I have lived experience with recovery and loving people struggling with addiction. I have been described as a warm, curious, compassionate, and empowering counselor. I offer trauma‐informed care that is inclusive to all humans, healing happens when you can show up as your authentic and full self!
I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas and have been working in the mental health field since 2018.
I completed my internship experiences at the Chaplain Family Life Training Center in Fort Hood, TX, and the Community Life Counseling Center in Belton, TX, from 2016-2018.
I have experience working in residential treatment, and a group practice setting in Asheville, NC before deciding to open Auden Counseling. I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors.
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.
My name is Amanda, and my practice was founded based on the power of connection, empathy, and grace. I really believe in the therapeutic relationship and enjoy walking alongside my clients. My background is social work, as I have truly always valued helping people. I received my bachelor’s degree in social work, as well as my master’s degree in social work. I have experience working within the hospital setting, within community mental health, within the court and administrative system, as well as working within the health department. Additionally, I have experience working within residential treatment settings, working with high acuity clients. My true passion is mental health, and I am blessed to be able to focus my intentions on helping to serve clients in my community. . I enjoy working with clients on a variety of areas that include anxiety, depression, life adjustment, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
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.
Hey — I'm genuinely glad you're here. I'm Tamika, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. I work with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family conflict, addiction, and the kind of stress that builds quietly over time until it's hard to ignore. I specialize in working with Black and BIPOC clients, women, and families who want a therapist who truly gets the cultural and personal context of their lives — not just a clinical checklist. My practice is fully telehealth, so you can access support from anywhere in North Carolina without the commute or the waiting room. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and other major insurance plans, because access to quality mental health care shouldn't be a financial obstacle.
As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where individuals, teens, and couples feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just trying to find a clearer path forward—therapy can be a powerful place to reconnect with yourself and your goals.
Are you feeling stuck? Frustrated? Having a difficult time navigating changes in your life? I am here to help!
I have been in social work practice for over 12 years now. I have worked with various populations including those who are dealing with life stressors, in crisis, dealing with chronic illness, grief/loss, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, trauma and stress. I approach my clients with respect and with an open mind!

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Greensboro
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Greensboro starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly states experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender-diverse clients, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and gender-expansive people. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want from care.
Greensboro offers both local and virtual therapy options, which can help widen your search for an affirming therapist. In a mid-size city, the right fit may be nearby, or you may prefer a virtual appointment with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and any background or identity details that matter to you. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Therapy in Greensboro 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 out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated costs after you enter your coverage details. From there, you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
