“Immediately she let ME speak. She told me to tell her what was going on. This was REFRESHING. my past psychs always go on and on not caring for my story but i was able to tell mine to her and she listened to it all. asked questions. engaged. Validated my emotions. when explaining things she asked if i understood or if i had questions many times, which made me feel so comfortable; like i was able to say anything that came to mind. She's very knowledgeable and cares about what her *client* needs specifically, rather than whatever is most common. she tailors treatment based on your story and needs and i find this really valuable in such an industry. Overall she's my favorite”

She was very helpful and made me feel comfortable to talk to her and I’m a shy person so I can’t just open up to anyone but with her I was able to !! Defiantly recommend
Verified patient
Great doctor
Verified patient
This was my first time with a therapist and I will say the level of professionalism displayed was great.I would highly recommend her services
Verified patient
Did not join our meeting twice
Feels like you’re talking to a long time friend, not a medical professional, which makes it so much easier to share things with. Friendly and knowledgeable. Relatable and would recommend.
Great listener. She listened without judgment. She was kind and open minded. I could tell she took her position as a doctor with all seriousness. She took all aspects of my history into consideration. I could tell she's a doctor that cares about her patients. She took me by surprise with how much she cared about my well being and didn't rush my visit. I felt heard and well cared for.
Verified patient
I think this was a great session for the purpose of confirmation. I'd say I was able to step away from this conversation with more confidence in my prior positive beliefs and less on my more negative beliefs. I would recommend Constance Okafor, PMHNP for someone who is overwhelmed and in need of a 3rd voice of reason. She was a nice help.
She never joined
