I am Stanley Okeyemi, the founder of Brighter Light Behavioral Health Services. I am currently licensed as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) in Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Washington, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia and New York. I have been working in the mental health industry for 16 years, but licensed as a PMHNP for four years, with a vast amount of experience and affiliations with over 40 hospitals/clinics combined across the USA
My background is in all aspects of mental health and substance abuse.
I'm so glad you are here! I have 7 years of experience in psychiatry with a total of 20 years in nursing. I work with those aged 6 and older. I thrive on working closely with my client in setting goals and helping achieve relief of symptoms.

Ever feel like your brain just won't cooperate? You know what you need to do, but you can't make yourself do it. You lose things, forget things, start projects you never finish — and you've probably been told to just try harder.
That gets old.
I'm Rodney. I'm a board-certified PMHNP and I work exclusively with adults who think they might have ADHD — or who already know they do and need a provider who actually gets it. ADHD is all I do, which means I'm not guessing.
I'll be straight with you: I talk to my patients like people, not cases. I want to know what your life actually looks like — your job, your relationships, what's driving you crazy — because that's how we figure out what's going to help.
I'm a veteran, and if that's part of your story too, you'll feel that in how I communicate. Direct, no fluff, no runaround.
I see adults across all of North Carolina via telehealth, seven days a week. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, just reach out.
I, Ifeoma Okani, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I specialize in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, OCD, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addiction. Many of my clients are juggling multiple roles and seek a safe, culturally sensitive space where they feel truly heard and understood. Their goal isn’t just to feel better but to reconnect with themselves, heal from past pain, and thrive emotionally. They want personalized, compassionate care that supports meaningful growth, not just symptom relief. I help by providing a safe, culturally sensitive space where you’ll feel heard and supported. Using compassionate, evidence-based care, I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy tailored to your needs. In our early sessions, we’ll build trust, explore your concerns, and create a personalized plan to support your healing. My practice is unique because I focus not only on symptom relief but on helping clients reconnect with themselves, heal deeply, and thrive long-term. I’m passionate about supporting others so they never feel alone in their struggles. I am committed to providing the support, insight, and clinical expertise you need to restore your peace and well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Fayetteville, NC
Finding psychiatrists in Fayetteville starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists, counselors, and psychologists focus on talk therapy. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, a prescriber may be part of your care. Some people start with therapy in Fayetteville, NC, some start with psychiatry, and some work with both.
In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local psychiatry options may be limited by appointment availability, office location, and insurance fit. Virtual appointments can expand your options across North Carolina while still giving you access to licensed psychiatric care. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare Fayetteville psychiatrists, review each profile for specialties, appointment times, visit format, and communication style so you can choose a psychiatrist who fits your needs and schedule.
Psychiatric care in Fayetteville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, check whether they take your insurance plan, and see estimated session costs upfront. You can compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care when available, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
