Francis Okafor, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
MO
Hi there, I'm Francis! I came to the United States of America in 1997. In 2001, I joined the US Army, where I served as a medic for 8 years. After my military service, I decided to go to Nursing School. I graduated with my MSN from Walden University as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My focus My focus is to provide psychiatric treatment for individuals 18 years and older. My focus areas are bipolar disorder/manic depressive illness, OCD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, ADHD, and schizophrenia. My approach During therapy, I stay calm in front of my clients, show personal interest in the needs of the client, take my time to understand the client's perspective, acknowledge the client's feelings, and take care of my own needs as a provider. My communication style My approach to care is to build trust with the client by introducing the care process and learning as much as possible from the client in order to meet their need. My clients will leave my session feeling respected, listened to, and provided possible solutions to their concerns. My journey to mental healthcare I worked as a psychiatric nurse in a state hospital. During my time there, I observed how our approach to treatment was benefiting the clients. I have seen clients come to us without focus but leave with a complete focus & understanding of their condition. I want to be a part of the team that is providing these services to the client as a provider. My goals for you We look at the big picture together and set small and measurable goals that we will revisit as the treatment process continues. Our first session During our first session, I will introduce myself to the client and answer as many questions and concerns they may have. We will set out the big picture and outline our small goals to get to the target.
