“I was referred to her by a friend who saw her for depression and she came highly recommended. Ifeoma did not disappoint. She was very caring, easy to talk to, and patient with my many problems lol. I felt safe with her. I would also highly recommend her if you are looking for mental health treatment and someone to talk to. She does both psych meds and therapy which is a plus!!”

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Consultations are required to learn more about your needs and ensure we are a good fit. Once done, we officially confirm the appointment and conduct our first visit!
During the first visit, I will learn more about your health history and gather all pertinent information from you to make an appropriate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan, which typically may include nonpharmacological and/or pharmacological treatment with supportive therapy. If additional support and guidance is necessary, a recommendation to work with one of our life & wellness coaches will be made.
