My name is Vivian Osemene, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma related disorders, and other psychiatric conditions.

I completed my psychiatric mental health training at Walden University and have experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan, including individuals with complex psychiatric and developmental needs. My clinical approach focuses on thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and individualized treatment planning.

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. I specialize in adults/ college students struggling with mood instability, women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. As well as working with families navigating schizophrenia and or mood disorders. I believe healing begins when the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—is nurtured. My approach goes beyond medication alone, blending evidence-based psychiatric treatment with lifestyle and wellness strategies designed to restore balance and promote lasting emotional well-being.

Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment.

Hi, I’m Sasheen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a unique background in both mental health and nursing. Since 2022, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and complex stressors. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you — not one-size-fits-all.

I earned my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Misuse from University of Texas at Arlington, and I’ve also been a Licensed Vocational Nurse since 2012. With over a decade of healthcare experience, I bring a holistic perspective to therapy — understanding both the emotional and physical aspects of well-being.

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

What I want my clients to know about me is that I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. Life can be overwhelming, and many people spend so much time trying to hold everything together that they rarely have a place where they feel fully seen, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create that space for you.

I approach therapy with compassion, honesty, and collaboration. I don’t believe clients need to be “fixed.” I believe people often need support understanding themselves more deeply, healing from painful experiences, and learning healthier ways to navigate life, relationships, stress, and emotions. I work alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their values, build emotional resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. (Headway)

My style is warm and supportive, but also practical. I want therapy to feel meaningful and useful, not like a place where you simply vent without growth. I often incorporate approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck while building healthier coping skills and greater self-awareness.

I also understand how difficult it can be to ask for help in the first place. Many clients come into therapy carrying shame, self-doubt, anxiety, trauma, or the pressure of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations while neglecting their own needs. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are emotionally and help them feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re experiencing — even the parts they may have never shared out loud before.

You do not have to have everything figured out before you start. You simply have to be willing to show up as yourself, and we can work through the rest together.
