About My Clients

If you find yourself unable to cope with difficult emotions, distressing thoughts, and tension in your relationships, psychotherapy may be the next step toward wellness. As a licensed (bilingual English/Spanish) clinical psychologist specializing in trauma, I have made it my life’s mission to decrease stigma related to the spectrum of mental health and promote healing and empowerment for the individuals and communities I serve.

My Background and Approach

As a trauma specialist, my goal is to help you feel more empowered and in control of your life by gaining insight on the past and building toward a sense of safety, authenticity, and balance in your future. Together, we will explore what overwhelms you, makes you feel unsafe, or dis-empowers you. I will encourage you to be curious about yourself, embrace change, find balance, regain authenticity, and use your strengths to empower your life. We will collaborate to design an individualized treatment plan to meet your needs. - Dr. Okosi

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Dr. Okosi is deeply committed to learning and appreciating the whole person including their sociocultural context and how it impacts them. She makes a conscious effort to welcome people of all racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, gender, sexual orientation, ability, citizenship status, and religious identities into the often difficult process of psychotherapy. A primary mission is to reduce stigma and other barriers to accessing mental health services. In addition, Dr. Okosi embraces a stance of cultural humility, acknowledging that each patient is an expert on their personal cultural experiences, and being open to what may challenge assumptions.
