As a queer-identified man of color, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and intersectionality. I care for my clients with empathy, cultural awareness, and a collaborative approach, creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to navigate your changes and grow.
My name is Jideofor Azie. I am a compassionate mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I have clinical experience working with diverse populations across a range of settings and draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based practices to tailor care to each individual's unique needs. I typically work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use challenges, schizophrenia, ADHD, life transitions, PTSD, and relationship challenges.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to assessment, medication management, and therapy. I consider biological, psychological, and social factors to tailor care to each person. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful approach combining medication, education, therapy, and coping strategies for well-being.
I understand that reaching out can feel like a big and sometimes uncertain step, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you move toward greater balance and well-being. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment—I would be honored to work alongside you.

I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported, drawing from an authentic understanding of how life’s overwhelming challenges affect us and how building new skills can lead to healing and empowerment.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 14 years of experience specializing in mental health. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and stress. My clients are often seeking clarity, emotional balance, and tools to cope and thrive. I’m passionate about helping individuals feel empowered, supported, and equipped to lead more fulfilling lives.
I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, blending evidence-based practices with holistic care.

I understand how hard it can be to take the first step toward healing, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and support.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard, and as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I combine evidence-based care with genuine compassion to support each person’s unique journey toward mental wellness.
I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I have 6 years of experience in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning across outpatient, community mental health, and telepsychiatry settings. I hold an MSN in psychiatric-mental health. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and adjustment difficulties. Many clients seek relief from persistent symptoms and greater stability, while others want a safe space to explore their experiences and develop coping strategies.
My goal is to partner with each client to create a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication management, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support. I believe in a collaborative, holistic approach that honors each person's unique story while empowering them to achieve their mental health goals and improve their quality of life.
I want you to know that your feelings matter—and I truly see where you're coming from. I understand how important it is to feel supported, and I'm here to help you take the next step with confidence. If you're ready, I'd love to connect so we can explore how we can work together to make things easier for you.

I use coping skills such as deep breathing and exercise (especially walking) for recurrent anxious feelings. I try to inhale for about 5 seconds and exhale for 7 seconds- doing this technique helps my body shift toward a calmer state. I try to exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes- during exercise, I talk positively to myself (e.g. I can do it. I'm strong). Using motivation helps me achieve my goals and reduces my anxious feelings.
My name is Fadeke Oladeji, and I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, and I am board certified and licensed to provide mental health care across the lifespan. I have experience caring for populations with a wide range of mental health conditions in outpatient clinics, community mental health, substance use clinics, primary care, and telehealth settings. Prior to obtaining my nurse practitioner license, I worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, primary care, and mental health outpatient/inpatient settings.
As a PMHNP, I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, ADHD), medication management, patient education, and supportive care with evidence-based treatment.
I have a strong belief in treating individuals by considering biological, psychological, and social factors, partnering with patients on treatment plans that align with their goals. I'm committed to a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard and supported. I look forward to collaborating with patients to achieve great outcomes.

Browse providers online or call us and we’ll help you find someone who accepts your insurance and fits your needs. Pick a time that works for you and choose how you’d like to pay.
At your first session, share what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment. Together, you’ll discuss your options—including whether medication might be a good fit. If so, your provider can send a prescription directly to your local pharmacy.
Your provider will check in regularly to make sure your treatment plan is working for you and adjust as needed.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressants most commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, and PTSD. They typically take two to six weeks to reach their full effect, so it's normal not to feel a difference right away. Your provider will find the right dose for you and schedule regular check-ins to make sure it's working well.
After your brain uses serotonin—a chemical involved in mood and stress regulation—it normally gets pulled back into the nerve cell that released it. SSRIs slow down that reabsorption, so more serotonin stays active between nerve cells. Researchers believe this change is part of how SSRIs help regulate mood and ease anxiety, though the full picture of how that translates into symptom relief is still being studied.
Paxil (paroxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that’s FDA-approved to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and several anxiety disorders: panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Paxil CR, an extended-release version, is approved for depression, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Providers sometimes prescribe Paxil off-label for other conditions, such as postpartum depression, premature ejaculation, and dysthymia (low-level depression that lasts two years or more).
Yes. Paxil is FDA-approved to treat panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. It isn’t approved for specific phobias, like a fear of flying or needles. Those are usually treated with exposure therapy, where you work with a therapist to gradually face what you fear.
The most common Paxil side effects are drowsiness, dry mouth, and loss of appetite. It can also cause nausea, diarrhea, or constipation. Some side effects, like drowsiness, can get better over time.
Like other SSRIs, Paxil can also cause weight gain and sexual side effects. If either one bothers you, talk to your provider about your options.
It’s important to not stop taking Paxil suddenly. Withdrawal symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea, and headache, can be more common and more severe with Paxil than with other SSRIs. If you and your provider decide to stop, they can lower your dose gradually.
Paxil can cause weight gain. But when it does, it tends to be modest and may be similar to most other antidepressants over the long run. In a 2025 study, people taking Paxil gained an average of about 1.3 pounds after six months, 2.4 pounds after 12 months, and 2.9 pounds after 24 months. If weight gain is a concern, talk to your provider about your options.
Yes, sleepiness is a common side effect of Paxil. In fact, it’s one of the most likely SSRIs to cause sleepiness. A 2023 review of SSRI studies found that people taking Paxil were much more likely to feel sleepy than people taking a placebo. If it’s getting in the way of your day, talk to your provider.
Like other SSRIs, Paxil doesn’t work right away, and timing varies from person to person. In one study of people with depression, those who responded to Paxil started to feel better after about 13 days on average. It often takes several weeks to feel the full effect, though, so it’s normal not to feel better right away. Your provider will check in with you and adjust your plan as needed.
Yes, you can often get a prescription online if your provider decides it’s clinically appropriate. If Paxil is a good fit, your provider can send the prescription straight to your local pharmacy.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans, and you can check your coverage before booking.
Medication costs are separate from the cost of your sessions. Whether your plan covers Paxil depends on your prescription drug benefits, so check with your insurance company directly. Ask about any copays or deductibles that may apply to psychiatric medications, as well as any restrictions or prior authorization requirements.
Book a session with a licensed psychiatric provider at Thriveworks online or by calling (855) 204-2767. At your first appointment, you’ll discuss your symptoms, treatment history, and goals. If medication is a good clinical fit, your provider may send a prescription to your local pharmacy.
Yes, Thriveworks is LegitScript certified. Our services have been independently reviewed and verified by a leading compliance organization, confirming high standards for legality, safety, and transparency in prescribing medication like stimulants.
