Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Saint Augustine, FL

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

As a clinical therapist with nearly a decade of experience I can truly say people can change their lives by coming to therapy. The therapist can be their guide or mentor to that change. My main area of focus these days is helping clients ages 10-30 with clinical treatment for ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. I also focus on working with athletes and helping them manage the demands of performance.

I approach my work with warmth, energy, and an open mind, creating a therapeutic space where clients can feel safe, supported, and understood. With over 15 years of nursing experience, I combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion to guide individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My mission is to foster trust, collaboration, and meaningful progress for every client who walks through my door.

If your child is dealing with big emotions, school stress, conflict at home, or the ups and downs that can come with ADHD, oppositional behaviors, anxiety, or depression, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I enjoy working with tweens, teens, and young adults, and I help families better understand what’s going on so things can feel less overwhelming and more manageable. My goal is to help your child feel more grounded, understood, and hopeful.

My intention is to provide a judgment-free space where we can talk about what is going on and collaborate to move forwards in the best way possible. I am flexible in my approach to counseling, and I tailor my counseling style based on the needs of each person I work with. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients (age, gender, concerns, etc.) and I am passionate about what I do. I am into fitness and healthy lifestyle, and I support my clients with creating their own foundation of wellness.

I've seen a lot - from elders, to anxiety issues; to divorce, to bipolar patients.

lt's a challenge - and that's why I'm here - to help make humanity healthy again, one human at a time.

Now, go to therapy.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing trauma-informed, client-centered care that integrates EMDR, IFS parts work, and somatic approaches.

Very empathic, resilient, welcoming and non judgmental.

I am a proud graduate of Albizu University, located in Miami, FL. My clinical training includes working with victims of trauma, military and first responders. I provide therapy, crisis intervention, and critical incident debriefing.

Additionally, I provide psycho-educational and full psychological evaluations from age 4-90.
