Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

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.

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.

Growing up and transitioning into adulthood, I always felt that I needed a "person". Someone who could be there to support me through the hardships and uncertainties of life. Someone who was unbiased and was there to just listen or to be that shoulder to cry on when I felt like no one in the world would be able to understand me. Being that person that I once needed, is what fueled the desire within to become a therapist.
