About

Hello there! I'm Dr. Henrietta O. Okpala, your friendly neighborhood Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I'm all about giving you the kind of mental health care that feels like it's made just for you and your loved ones. My mission? To be there for everyone who needs help, especially those in tough spots like shelters or with limited means.

My nursing career kicked off with top honors, and I didn't stop there—I went on to master the world of psychiatry and even got my Doctorate. But it's not just about the diplomas on my wall; it's about making sure you get the latest and greatest in mental health care.

Since 2015, I've been at the helm of Bridge to Care, steering us towards cool tech like video chats for therapy sessions—because getting help should be easy, wherever you are. And don't worry about insurance headaches; we've got that covered with a bunch of providers.

I've worked in all sorts of places, from big city hospitals to cozy clinics, helping everyone from kids to grandparents—and everyone in between. No matter what you're dealing with, I've got the tools and know-how to help you tackle it head-on.

I'm a big believer in looking at the big picture; your mind and body go hand-in-hand. So when we team up, you'll get a care plan that's as unique as you are, mixing different ways to get you feeling your best.

In short: I'm here to back you up with top-notch care and support as we walk the road to wellness together. Ready to start feeling better? Let's do this!

 

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

 
 
Prospective clients considering collaborating with me should understand that my approach is rooted in empathy, selflessness, and attentive listening. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. My commitment to holistic care encompasses addressing emotional, mental, and relational aspects of well-being. Through genuine empathy and a client-centered approach, I aim to foster trust and facilitate meaningful growth and healing. Clients can expect a collaborative and compassionate environment where their unique needs and experiences are respected and valued.
 
 

I support both cash pay and insurance.
