About
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.
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.

Christian counseling in Reston is a form of faith-based counseling that utilizes psychological and spiritual techniques to guide and support. Often, Christian counselors often incorporate prayer and scripture-reading into treatment to help practicing Christians work through their challenges.
Christian counseling works by focusing on themes of hope and healing through one’s faith. At Thriveworks, your Christian counselor will discuss Christian values and relate them to your unique struggles. You can expect to discuss the following with them:
Christian counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Christian counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on what challenges the client might be working through, the severity of those challenges, as well as other needs or preferences.
There are times when we fall out of line with our faith. We’re only human—we encounter challenges, like a disagreement with our partner that threatens to derail our relationship, or financial stress that doesn’t appear to have a solution. These challenges are varied and aplenty. Fortunately, Christian counselors understand this fact about life well! More importantly, they know how to help you work through the challenges in front of you, while also guiding you back to your faith. In assisting you with life’s obstacles, they will help you to strengthen your relationship with God.
If you think that you could use a little help in working through stressors, relationship issues, or other life challenges, and you prefer the assistance of someone who shares in your Christian faith, consider working with a Christian counselor. The Christian counselors at Thriveworks Reston in Fairfax are here and hopeful to meet you! They will use their Christian faith, paired with their professional skills and knowledge, to help you work through the challenges that are stunting your happiness and/or relationship with God. To schedule your first session with one of our Christian counselors, just call (703) 635-3514.
Christian counseling, otherwise known as biblical counseling or therapy, uses both lessons from the Christian faith and science-backed therapeutic practices to help people heal, grow, and live better. The ultimate goal of Christian counseling is to guide people in making beneficial changes that will help them live a happier, more successful life as God’s child. This approach to counseling utilizes lessons narrated in the bible as well as scripture, to complement and enhance psychological treatment.
When met with overwhelming, stressful, painful, or otherwise difficult scenarios, we can find help and healing in our Christian faith. Multiple studies show that leaning on one’s faith during tough times can help them to stay strong and maintain their wellbeing. For example, when we experience a heartbreaking loss, such as the death of a loved one; or, when we feel burnt out at our job. This list could go on, but the takeaway is this: Christian counseling can help guide followers of the Christian faith, as they work through their life challenges.
As we stated previously, the primary goal in Christian counseling is to assist people with tackling challenges in their life and making beneficial changes that will improve their health, happiness, and/or success. Now, the more specific goals do vary from person to person, as they depend on what you are going through right now and which areas of your life you need help in. That said, here are some common goals that our Christian counselors have helped their clients achieve:
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is stress taking over your life? Has a loved one passed? If you’re working through a particularly tough time, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. Mental health professionals dedicate their lives to helping people manage these tough times and all of the challenges that they encounter. If you’d like your counselor to incorporate teachings from the Bible or other Christian practices into treatment, consider working with one of our Christian counselors.
