If you're feeling overwhelmed by ADHD symptoms, struggling in your relationships, carrying the weight of past trauma, or finding yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, frustrated, or unsure of how to move forward. Others are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, caregiver stress, or conflict in their personal relationships.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with adults and couples seeking support, healing, and meaningful change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we'll explore what's contributing to your current challenges while building practical tools that help you improve relationships, manage emotions more effectively, navigate conflict, and create meaningful, lasting change.
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.
I believe that healing begins with being heard, understood, and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in working with clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and self-esteem struggles. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness, self-compassion, and strengths-based techniques.
I believe growth is possible for everyone, and I am passionate about supporting clients as they rediscover hope, confidence, and balance.
I know that reaching out for help takes courage — and I want to make that process as simple and comfortable as possible. My practice focuses on anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I believe real progress happens when you feel heard and respected every step of the way. I take time to understand what's going on in your life before we talk about next steps, whether that's medication, therapy, or both. My goal is to give you clear information and practical support so you feel more in control of your mental health.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Army veteran, I specialize in working with young African American veterans who are navigating depression, anxiety, military transition, identity shifts, and the challenges of civilian life. I understand that life after service is not always straightforward. Many people, including veterans, find themselves struggling with purpose, relationships, career decisions, and mental health concerns while trying to adjust to a new chapter.
As a female veteran, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. Those experiences help me create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered.
What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.
I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.
