Getting to know Chinyere Okonkwo
My name is Chinyere Okonkwo, and I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in both Family and Mental Health. I earned my Master's in Nursing from the University of Texas, which laid the foundation for my comprehensive approach to patient care. With a deep commitment to improving the well-being of my patients, I currently focus on individuals navigating mental health challenges.
I have been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner since 2017, and my philosophy centers around a holistic, patient-centered approach. I prioritize building strong, trusting relationships with my patients to understand their unique needs and collaborate on personalized treatment plans that empower them to take control of their health.
In addition to my mental health focus, my diverse clinical experience spans several years working in both acute care settings and state agencies, where I have treated patients with complex medical and mental health conditions. This extensive background allows me to offer comprehensive care addressing both physical and psychological health concerns.
I am passionate about working with individuals dealing with a wide range of behavioral health issues, including schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and trauma. My expertise also extends to managing chronic conditions, medication management, and providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
I believe in the power of collaboration and work closely with other healthcare providers, support systems, and community resources to ensure my patients receive the most well-rounded care possible. My ultimate goal is to help my patients lead healthier, more meaningful lives by fostering resilience, providing education, and creating a safe space for them to heal and thrive.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
