Hello, my name is Kelechi Okwaraji, and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and behavioral issues. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to achieve emotional wellness and balance.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This helps me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up Sessons.
Having worked with children, Adolescent and Adults for the past 2yrs. I have developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) Identify what could be the triggering /modifying factors /root cause of your challenges and (b) Create a tailored plan that leads to measurable results.
I love working with Child/Adolescent/Adults struggling with different kinds of mental health related issues including addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and others. Also had extensive experience with key populations (Female sex workers, LGBTQI, injection drug users). I help my clients work through their emotions/feelings/struggles irrespective of how long they have been in the condition.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited approach used to address various mental health issues. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. Through CBT, individuals learn practical strategies to reframe distorted thinking, manage emotions, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I have seen great results with clients struggling with conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress. Through CBT some of my clients were able to set specific goals, practice new skills, and evaluate progress over time.
Christian Counseling
Christian counseling integrates traditional therapeutic techniques with Christian principles and teachings. It aims to address emotional and psychological issues while aligning with an individual's faith and spiritual beliefs. Counselors may use Biblical scripture, prayer, and faith-based strategies to help clients navigate challenges, deepen their spiritual understanding, and find support through their faith. This approach often focuses on fostering personal growth, healing, and moral development in the context of a Christian worldview.
