Salome Okereke

Hello, I’m Salome Okereke, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than eight years of nursing experience in behavioral health, home care, medical-surgical nursing, and clinical leadership. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management for adults ages 18 and older. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered, with a focus on creating individualized treatment plans that support emotional well-being, stability, and lasting mental wellness.

I am passionate about helping people better understand their mental health and receive care that recognizes them as a whole person.

My goal is to create a welcoming, respectful environment where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable participating in your treatment.

My approach is warm, open-minded, affirming, and collaborative. I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, concerns, and treatment goals before making recommendations. I believe mental health care should be individualized, so we will work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

When appropriate, treatment may include medication management, supportive interventions, education, healthy lifestyle strategies, and coordination with your other healthcare providers. I will explain your options clearly, answer your questions, and ensure that you feel involved in decisions about your care.

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, confidential, and judgment-free conversation. We will discuss what brought you to treatment, your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, daily functioning, support system, and goals for care. I will also give you time to ask questions and share any concerns you may have.

By the end of the appointment, we will discuss my clinical impressions and begin developing a treatment plan together. My priority is not to rush the process, but to understand you as a whole person and make thoughtful, safe recommendations that support your well-being.
