About Chika
I am Dr. Chika Okeoma, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to compassionate, culturally responsive care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Many of my clients seek clarity, emotional balance, and practical tools to improve their daily lives. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered as they work toward healing and lasting mental wellness.
My approach combines evidence-based treatment, thoughtful medication management, and a holistic understanding of each person’s experiences. I collaborate closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication, therapy strategies, and lifestyle support to help them build resilience and meaningful progress.
I believe every person deserves to feel understood, supported, and hopeful about their future. No matter where you are in your mental health journey, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we can work toward greater balance, clarity, and well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your path forward.
"As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner deeply committed to culturally competent, compassionate care, I strive to create a safe, respectful space where you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered in your healing journey. "
Get to know Chika
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish all clients knew that healing takes time, and even small steps forward still count as real progress.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, judgment-free space where we take time to talk about what brings you in, your history, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your experiences, but you are always in control of what and how much you share.
In the early stages of therapy, we’ll focus on building trust, clarifying your goals, and creating a plan that feels realistic and supportive. If medication management is part of your care, we’ll carefully and collaboratively review options. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of direction.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I tailor therapy by taking time to understand your background, values, strengths, and goals, then using evidence-based approaches that align with your needs and adjusting our plan as you grow and your needs evolve.
