Dr. Okafor was extremely professional and really listened to my concerns. I like that she didn’t just try to prescribe me any medication and I felt like I had some control in the process. She gave me a couple options when I voiced concerns about being put on medication, and gave me pros and cons of each option. I like that she scheduled a follow up appointment and gave me her direct number in case I needed to contact her before the two week timeframe. Very happy with my appointment!

She was amazing! I highly recommend her!!!!
Verified patientVideo visit
I have seen a few psychologists over a ten year period. I have NEVER spoken to one as long or as in depth as talking with her. she was warm and personable, and I felt like she really wanted to know me, was concerned about me, and wanted to help me in any way she could. I walked away from our appointment feeling heard, understood, and comforted. it was nice to have a doctor that didn't just throw pills at me and send me on my way. I'm so grateful to have found her.
