Davis Hoffman

Davis Hoffman

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m an LCSW, and my practice name, Life Shift Happens, comes from a truth I see every single day: people don’t come to therapy because they’re broken. They come because life stopped unfolding the way they expected, and they feel entirely stuck. A lot of the humans I work with are incredibly thoughtful and trying so hard. They usually don't lack insight; they’ve read the coping skills and talked things through with friends. Yet, they still find themselves procrastinating, shutting down, or feeling completely frozen by past stuff. When that happens, change isn’t a matter of forcing more willpower. It requires slowing down to look at the patterns and defense mechanisms we build to protect ourselves when life gets heavy.

My style is collaborative, deeply conversational, and entirely human. I’m not here to judge, lecture, or pretend I have all the answers. Instead, I’m active in our sessions through asking questions, noticing patterns, and gently pushing back when I see you getting in your own way. We will work on the practical things like boundaries, follow-through, and managing emotions, while sitting with the messy overthinking, panic, burnout, or feeling checked out underneath it all. Therapy with me is a relationship where we make sense of the sudden crises and quiet paralyses that come with life shifts. The goal isn’t a perfect, flawless life, but rather a therapeutic space where you can figure out what changed, sprinkle in compassion, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels genuinely your own.

Ifeoma Okani

Ifeoma Okani

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Raleigh, NC

Finding postpartum therapists in Raleigh starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for therapy for perinatal depression or support during pregnancy from a prenatal depression therapist. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health counseling, postpartum care, and related specialties. A Perinatal Mental Health Certification, or PMH-C, can also signal specialized training.

Raleigh offers a strong mix of local therapy options, and virtual care can make the search easier for new parents with changing schedules, infant care needs, or physical recovery to consider. Some people prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or a familiar part of the city, while others prefer virtual appointments that fit around feeding, naps, or childcare. When narrowing your options, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style, experience with postpartum concerns, and approach before you book.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find Raleigh therapists who work with postpartum concerns, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
