Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Dr. Oforah (or you can call me Dr. O!). I provide virtual psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and psychotherapy for children and adults (all ages) throughout New Jersey. I specialize in treating or managing symptoms related to anxiety, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, agitation, psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, OCD, PTSD, trauma, grief, insomnia, alcohol/drug use disorder, and stress using evidence-based, compassionate care. I am currently accepting new patients and accept many major insurance plans. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Partners in Mental Health & Wellness, New Jersey, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered care across diverse populations. My professional background includes advanced clinical training and experience in assessing, diagnosing, and managing both acute and chronic conditions. I earned my doctoral degree through rigorous education focused on clinical excellence, and evidence-based practice. I provide comprehensive treatments including mental health assessments, diagnosis, medication management, crisis management, and patient education. Reach out to me if you have any questions.

My approach to therapy

My approach to providing care is grounded in a patient-centered philosophy that prioritizes each individual’s unique needs and values. I integrate evidence-based practice with clinical expertise to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care. I emphasize preventive care and patient education to promote long-term health and wellness. I strive to create a compassionate environment where patients feel supported, respected, and empowered in their healthcare decisions. I also utilize evidence-based Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as Buprenorphine (Suboxone), Naltrexone, and Campral to manage substance use disorders (Alcohol & Opioid dependence)

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a respectful, and welcoming environment that allows us to explore your concerns together. I conduct a thorough assessment, listen attentively to any concerns, and work collaboratively with you to understand your mental health goals. I will provide you with a clear communication, personalized care, and a treatment plan tailored to your mental needs.
