Ofonime Ekpe
Welcome! My name is Ofon and I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I want you to take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked in mental health for the past 10 years as a Mental health nurse and the past 1 year as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
We all experience some form of mental instability at some point in our lives. The difference is the form of coping mechanisms that we utilize. Mental instability needs to be addressed when it starts to get in the way of our happiness or productivity. I’ve been treating patients with mental instability for the past year mainly using CBT and Motivational Interviewing. We’ll focus on what triggers your mental instability especially those thoughts and the false stories your mind tells you. Then, we’ll create a concrete plan that includes evidence-based techniques and work through it until you begin to think positively.
