Chinenye Okoro
I am a doctorally prepared Nurse practitioner with dual certification in two specialty areas: Family Practice/Primary care and Psychiatric/Mental Health. I received my Masters and doctorate degrees from the University of Medicine and Dentistry, after which I went for post graduate education in Mental health from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio. I have about 17 years of experience and have practiced in varied settings and treated varied medical, and mental health ailments as well as helped young adults struggling with career stress, career change, new diagnosis and burnout become the best versions of themselves. I am very personable, and bring to the table a wealth of experience and soft skills such as active listening, empathy, accountability, compassion, integrity, patience, reliability, authenticity, honesty, genuineness, humility, gratitude, grace, and ability to be present in someone else's issues. I consider it an honor to be invited into a patient's innermost medical and mental health problems and personal lives and I take this privilege very seriously I wake up every day energized and ready to continue to do my life best work of helping my clients to live healthy lives, and knowing that how the way I handle each case makes a difference between illness chronicity and recovery, motivates me to deliver pristine care. My mantra is to beat your expectation at each encounter.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. We will also go through the result of scales completed, as well as important medical/psychiatric history. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest asset as a provider is my active listening skill, empathy, and ability to walk in the shoe of my clients. Having worked with young professionals and different clients across life span for the past 17 years, I've developed a time-tested, tried-and-true playbook for helping you (A) identify the root cause of your challenges (B) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress using an integrative collaborative care model that puts you in the driver seat of your treatment plan (C) My Practice is also big in the concept of holistic method, treating the mind/body and soul (D) You will also be availed extensive resources on life style modifications that will accelerate your being able to take control of the disease process
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with young professionals who are in either the first few years of their careers, or about to embark on a career change, or a dealing with new diagnosis or have no idea while they are not able to function to the extent of their God-given talent. I also like working with clients who have dual diagnoses, or a dealing with varied medical or mental health problems or clients going through different stressors. My clients are eager to improve, but not have the tools needed to make this a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers, disease process, or circumstances they found themselves in. I am able to establish a good therapeutic relationship with them, and using a collaborative approach, I am able to arrive at a care plan that is evidence based
