Hello! I'm Dr. Ifeoma Ukachukwu. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and cultural humility. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

I provide care for individuals facing mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and other mental health conditions. My therapeutic style is integrative, relational, and person-centered. I honor each client’s unique identity and lived experience and aim to empower you to reconnect with your strengths and values. I utilize a blend of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Positive Psychology & Strength-Based Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. In addition to talk therapy, I provide psychiatric medication evaluation and management when clinically appropriate. I take a thoughtful, integrative approach that combines psychopharmacology with psychotherapy to promote holistic healing. I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipIfeomar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, and insomnia and sleep-related issues. My clinical approach emphasizes collaboration, active listening, and patient education. I believe in empowering clients to make informed decisions about their mental health while offering compassionate, attentive care throughout the treatment process.

Does not listen or care about your wellbeing whatsoever. Incredibly condescending. Please, I beg you, see somebody else. This is a doctor who views you as a paycheck more than a person. It’s as though the things I say go in one ear and out the other.

i was extremely disappointed in my appointment with this provider. I felt very judged for a lot of things I said, I felt misunderstood and like she misinterpreted every single thing I said. I felt like she did not listen to me at all, and I felt extremely disrespected. She asked me some inappropriate questions in very insensitive ways, and did not seem to respect my identity as transgender person.
