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 therapist, I prioritize transparency by sharing my own experiences with mental health to help normalize its importance in our lives, recognizing that we are all human. I employ metaphors and humor as tools to gently navigate past defense mechanisms and identify the underlying causes of challenges. My approach focuses on addressing root issues rather than solely managing symptoms. While symptom management is an important component of effective therapy, my ultimate goal is to facilitate lasting healing and empower clients toward long-term well-being.

As a mental health therapist, I practice in Virginia, Delaware, Florida, and North Carolina, specializing in grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger management, and stress associated with life transitions.

Hi, I'm Amanda! I know it can be tough looking for a new therapist, and I hope you find someone you connect with! I may be the right fit if you're looking for someone who: listens and engages with you, creates a space where you can be yourself, validates but also challenges at times, and recognizes the impact of the state of the world, societal expectations, & trauma on your mental health.
