I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.
With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.
I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be yourself without judgment. I work with teens and adults across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and the challenges that come with change. My background in education has given me a deep understanding of the pressures people face at different stages of life, while my counseling training allows me to support clients in finding greater clarity, confidence, and balance. I strive to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and collaborative, while helping clients recognize their strengths and move toward meaningful change.
Hi there! I work with adolescents and young adults who are navigating a variety of life challenges and mental health concerns. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, women's issues, substance use, PTSD, relationship difficulties, or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), ect., my goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe therapy should be a place where you can explore difficult emotions, gain insight into patterns that may no longer serve you, and develop practical skills to help you move toward the life you want.
As a Nigerian American therapist, I also recognize the impact that culture, identity, and family dynamics can have on mental health. I enjoy helping clients navigate the unique challenges that can arise from balancing multiple identities while honoring their values, experiences, and personal goals. I love animals, yoga, traveling, live music, and farmer's markets!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, identity exploration, and difficult life transitions. I also have experience working with adolescents and understand the unique emotional, relational, and developmental challenges that can come during those years.
I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely safe, understood, and respected. My goal is to create a space where clients can show up honestly without fear of judgment. I know that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or vulnerable, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own, and I take seriously the trust it takes to open up to another person.
I am an LGBTQ-affirming clinician and believe deeply in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where clients can explore their experiences authentically. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s individual story and lived experience.
Much of my work centers around helping people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. Whether someone is navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or major life stressors, I aim to help them feel less alone while working toward meaningful and lasting change.
Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Research consistently shows that a strong connection between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of success in therapy. Because of that, I place a high value on building a relationship grounded in trust, honesty, collaboration, and authenticity.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Corpus Christi
Finding addiction therapists in Corpus Christi starts with identifying the kind of support that matches your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that connect to your goals, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.
Corpus Christi has local therapy and behavioral health options, but the right fit may depend on more than location. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want more scheduling flexibility or if nearby offices have limited availability. When reviewing therapists in Corpus Christi, consider whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading each therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they talk about addiction care, including whether they use a non-judgmental approach and have experience with harm reduction frameworks.
Therapy in Corpus Christi can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs before booking, and compare options for in-person or virtual care. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
