“Jeffrey is compassionate, professional, very approachable, and genuinely cares. In each session he creates a safe space where I feel comfortable discussing anxiety, life transitions, and personal challenges. He's been very patient with me. He listens intently with respect and integrity, offers thoughtful guidance and encouragement that feels sincere and warm, and provides me with tools that I can apply in my everyday life. Our sessions have been productive and impactful, and I leave feeling more grounded, confident, and ready to navigate life. He's so easy to talk to and open up about difficult topics that it comes naturally. I can tell he's passionate about helping people. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and supportive therapist. ”

Getting to know Jeffrey Obiekwe
Do you feel like you're constantly "on," yet struggling to keep your head above water? I work with high-achieving professionals, overwhelmed parents, and teens who feel stuck in a cycle of anxiety, chronic stress, or self-doubt. My clients often feel they are "just getting by" and are ready to move from surviving to thriving. Whether you are navigating professional burnout, family conflict, or life transitions, I provide an active, goal-oriented space to help you regain control, build resilience, and find a sustainable path to mental well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I often use CBT in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the best ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My goal is to make our sessions the most productive time of your week. We start with a comprehensive intake to understand your history and, more importantly, your specific goals for therapy. I don't just sit back and nod; I use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT.
A typical session includes:
Mood Check-In: We briefly track your progress since our last meeting to ensure we are moving the needle.
Agenda Setting: You decide what is most important to tackle today so we stay focused on your needs.
Active Work: We use specific techniques (CBT, DBT, or Mindfulness) to challenge the negative thoughts or behaviors causing you distress.
Action Plan: We co-create a "take-home" strategy so you can practice your new skills in the real world between sessions.
Whether we are addressing anxiety, depression, or relationship stress, you can expect a space that is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and focused on tangible results.

Jeff has and continues to be a huge help in my mental health journey. I tried meeting with several others before him - but none were as charismatic and easy to talk to. And I find Jeff’s character helps me open up.
He combines this with a technical understanding of psychology and has introduced tools and systems into my life which have helped me tremendously.
I highly recommend Jeff!

Jeff is an excellent therapist! I first called him for general anxiety and spiraling thought patterns. Since starting therapy over a year ago, my baseline is improved significantly. I am less anxious and have a lot more control over my mood and feelings, which makes life better. Jeff is smart, insightful, empathetic, funny, and easy to talk to. Therapy has been super helpful, highly recommend.
