NOW ACCEPTING AND SERVING CHILDREN!! Have you ever felt lost or lonely while in a familiar or crowed place? Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. I first developed a passion for therapy when I hit a roadblock in my own life and was struggling to move past it. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and discomfort.


Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to be the best version of ourselves. With my help, you'll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients.


My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After several sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. Let's work together to put your life back in focus. I look forward to working with you.

2910 Briarcliffe Road, Winston-Salem, NC

I help people who can’t seem to find themselves. Those who have changed so much for others to feel more comfortable, they don’t even remember who they are. Clients sit on my couch for different reasons, but the struggle is often the same. Hiding breeds guilt, resentment, and feeling like an imposter. My own journey (which is different than yours will be) has positioned me to know the value of cultivating authenticity.

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.

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.

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 Kernersville

Searching for therapists in Kernersville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. If you are comparing therapy in Kernersville, NC, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Kernersville has local counseling private practice options, but nearby availability may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each profile can help you understand the therapist’s communication style, experience, and approach before you book.

Therapy in Kernersville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can browse profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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