Dr. Oretha Sogbie

If you've been working, parenting, caring for others, and meeting your responsibilities while quietly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, you're not alone.

I'm Dr. Oretha Sogbie-Berko, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than 19 years of healthcare experience. I work primarily with adults who appear to be functioning well but no longer feel like themselves. Behind the scenes, they may be managing anxiety, depression, burnout, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, or a difficult life transition.

I offer both individual therapy and psychiatric medication management. Some clients choose therapy alone, others benefit from medication, and many find that a combination works best. If you'd prefer to start without medication, that's a completely valid place to begin.

I'll offer clinical guidance and honest feedback, but you'll always have a voice in your care. You don't need to know whether you need therapy, medication, or both before reaching out. We can evaluate your concerns, discuss your options, and decide together.

If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'm here to help

My approach is warm, direct, and practical, drawing from CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based strategies to help you change unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and function more effectively in everyday life. Because of my background in both psychiatry and acute and complex medical care, I also consider how sleep, physical health, medications, stress, and emotional well-being may be affecting one another.

Care is person-centered and collaborative. You set the pace, and you should feel safe, respected, and never pressured.

Your first appointment is 45–60 minutes and focused on understanding you, your history, current concerns, strengths, and treatment goals. We’ll discuss what has been happening, how it is affecting your daily life, and what you would like to change.

Together, we’ll identify the most appropriate next steps, whether that means therapy, medication, behavioral changes, or a combination of approaches.

You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. Even saying, “I don’t want to keep feeling this way,” is enough of a place to begin
