Hi there! I'm glad you found your way here.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you are not alone. A lot of the
people I work with describe a similar experience: on the surface, life looks manageable, but
internally, it is a different story. Thoughts that won't quiet down, energy that's hard to find, or
stress from past experiences that never quite resolved themselves.
You don't have to keep carrying that on your own.
I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental challenges, from anxiety, ADHD,
depression, and mood disorders to trauma, life transitions, burnout, and beyond. My goal is
straightforward: to help you feel more like yourself again, and more in control of your day-to-day life.
Hi! My name is Keyonda Dean, but my friends call me Keyandra. I'm really glad you're here. You may have been feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected for a while now. Maybe you have lost interest in things that used to matter, or you wake up already exhausted. Perhaps you have been running on empty for so long that it's starting to feel normal. Some days, it's hard to explain what is wrong, but you are still showing up, still getting through your to-do list. But something feels off. It's not just "stress," and you aren't being dramatic. What you are feeling is real, and you deserve support that actually helps. I work with patients across a wide range of mental health experiences - whether you are dealing with anxiety and depression, mood disorder, ADHD, or navigating something that feels new and hard to name
My name is Oluwatoyin Omodaratan, PMHNP-BC, and I go by Toyin. I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 4 years of experience as a provider and more than 19 years rooted in psychiatric nursing.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My clinical experience spans a wide range of psychiatric conditions across the lifespan, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns.
I believe in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and individualized, ensuring that each client feels heard, supported, and actively involved in their treatment plan. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing, growth, and stability can occur.
I am a board-certified Nurse practitioner with many years of critical care experience. My provider strength leverages a wealth of experience from critical care, which provides me with a unique lens for my psychiatric mental health practice. I strongly believe that a complete healing stabilizes both the mind and the body. So, I am uniquely equipped to manage complex cases at intersection of acute illness and mental health crisis. I also believe in personalized shared care planning that respects and honors patient's unique needs and preferences. My goal is to deliver exceptional and compassionate care that supports whole-wellbeing by stabilizing the mind.
As a special needs dad, a former Spanish teacher, former school counselor (MEdSC), and nurse (MSN), I bring a broad range of experiences to my clients. As a nurse, I have worked PACU, ER, and geriatrics. My goal is to work with the client to reach their goals through the use of counseling, supplements, and medication as needed. I enjoy using belief systems as part of my counseling if desired.
Like many providers, I have worked with many clients with depression, mania, and anxiety. As a previous teacher/school counselor, I understand the impact of ADHD on the student, the classroom, the teacher, and the family.
I think it is important for prospective clients to know that I want to help both now and in the future. For this reason, there are drugs that I don't prescribe (stimulants and benzos) because of the long-lasting side effects.
My hobbies include playing the piano, singing, gardening and family.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Cynthia Oputa, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care.

I have a strong clinical background in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment across the lifespan. My training allows me to integrate both psychotherapy and medication management, and I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to care. I believe that combining therapeutic support with appropriate medication—when needed—offers a more holistic and sustainable path to healing.
My areas of interest include the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and stress-related concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that respect personal values, goals, and lived experiences. I also encourage education and shared decision-making, empowering clients to feel informed and confident about their care.
Above all, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and respected. Whether you are seeking help for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, professionalism, and care.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding psychiatrists in Allen starts with knowing which kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.
Allen is a smaller city, so local psychiatry appointments may vary by office location, schedule, and visit format. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping access close to home. Psychiatric care often follows a different cadence than therapy, with medication management appointments that are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Provider bios can help you compare availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Allen can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, take your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review bios, 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.
