A defining part of my therapy work is that I provide highly-personalized psychotherapy services for each of my clients. With almost 7 years of experience, I have tailored my focus on trauma and complex trauma in adults.

Syveria Ford

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest

moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you

invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something

worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South

Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a

blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where

you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

Ifeoma Okani

Ifeoma Okani

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.
