My name is Dr. Chinedu Okafor. I am a dual-board-certified psychiatric-mental health and family nurse practitioner. I have over two decades of combined advanced practice and registered nurse experience. I pride myself on being a patient advocate who is committed to understanding the needs of my patients. My service model is a holistic, customized, and culturally sensitive approach tailored to my client's health needs. I help busy women struggling with overwhelm, stress, and burnout become the best versions of themselves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into your specific challenges. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Being in the nursing industry for over 2 decades, I would say that empathy, caring, as well as being a good listener drive my patient care. I also pride myself on being thorough and holistic in my approach to care. Being a Family Nurse Practitioner for over 9 years has also helped me to better understand the overall needs of my patients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with busy professional women or moms who feel overwhelmed and struggling with limiting beliefs, and mental roadblocks keeping them from moving forward. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make their goal(s) a reality. They often feel stuck and anxious about life and the things they are juggling. Throughout my nursing career, I’ve also worked with diverse populations, shaping my holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to treatment, emphasizing empathy, evidence-based practices, and empowering individuals to discover their unique strengths. One thing that drives me is seeing the resilience of my clients and knowing that even small wins and interventions can be very significantly impactful to their well-being
