Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Matthews

Finding the right psychiatrist in Matthews, NC starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide ongoing medication management. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or another condition that may benefit from medication, a psychiatrist or PMHNP may be the right fit.

Matthews is part of the broader Charlotte metro area, which means you may have access to providers practicing in nearby communities like Mint Hill, Stallings, Indian Trail, and south Charlotte. When comparing providers, consider their areas of focus, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and whether their availability works with your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach before you commit.

Psychiatry sessions can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
