Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Salem, OR

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in private practice since 2020. Beforehand, I worked in Chicago schools as a school social worker and paraprofessional. In my practice I focus on helping individuals throughout the lifespan who are looking for healing from trauma, and help managing anxiety and depressive symptoms.

As a PMHNP-BC, I offer medication management and therapy sessions via Telehealth Mon-Fri 0900- 19:00.

Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults and children. My focus is ADHD, burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.

Life brings its share of hard chapters, and having a steady, experienced presence can make all the difference. I'm David, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of post-graduate experience helping individuals and couples move through anxiety, depression, grief, illness, and major life transitions. I've served as Executive Director of a nonprofit counseling agency and worked with clients in hospital, residential, outpatient, and group settings, across every age and background, including people of varied sexual orientations, ethnicities, and races. Whatever brought you here, I'd be glad to work with you.

With decades of experience as a nurse practitioner and over 15 years specializing in mental health, I am committed to understanding each patient's unique story and life experiences. I have a special interest in resiliency and thriving after trauma. I am dedicated to supporting you as you determine the path and pace that best suits your needs.

Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with compassionate listening, creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.

After growing up in Texas, I moved to the green of Oregon about 30 years ago. I spent my early career working and supervising in nonprofits serving unhoused young adults, including young parents. I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2013 and have since focused my attention on perinatal mental health. I have experience as a foster and a biological parent. Whether you're facing the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, or perimenopause, I believe that you deserve someone who is fully focused on supporting you.

I received my PhD from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and have experience in community mental health, university counseling center, and hospital settings. I also worked as a professor at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and as a clinical supervisor for doctoral students before transitioning to my current full-time private practice. I enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and spiritual/faith-related concerns. I believe authenticity and humility are essential qualities in an effective therapist, which is why I am committed to my own ongoing personal growth and development as part of my clinical role.
