Hello! My name is Kelechi Okwaraji, and I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner here in Los Angeles, CA. With years of experience in the field, I focus on building strong, supportive relationships with my patients and their families. I’m passionate about mental health and strive to help my patients overcome daily challenges. My approach combines empathy, effective communication, and evidence-based treatments to guide individuals toward better mental health. I work with all age groups—from children to seniors—and provide care that is inclusive of diverse communities, including LGBTQI and those struggling with substance use. As a healthcare provider, I am skilled in various therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. I’m also adept at managing complex treatment plans and staying up-to-date with the latest medical protocols. Whether it's a routine check or an initial evaluation, I am here to offer my expertise every step of the way. In my current role at Kelhealthandwelllness, I've continued to expand my knowledge and build meaningful connections with my patients. I believe in a shared decision-making approach, ensuring that my patients feel heard and valued in their treatment journey. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to support your mental health needs. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe that each individual is unique and deserves to be treated as such. My goal is to support you in taking the time to truly understand yourself, your strengths, and your challenges so that you can make informed decisions about the direction of your life. I’m not interested in throwing a bunch of pills at you and calling it a day, but I want to help you understand what’s going on with your body and mind so that we can come up with some strategies that work for you. I want to help my patients find a way of being in a world based on self-compassion and kindness.

I am an anxiety and attachment therapist who creates a safe space to practice intentional vulnerability. I listen and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings throughout the session, but don’t get me wrong - I am not a “sit and nod” therapist. I utilize an active and directive approach to help identify and name patterns, behaviors, or thoughts that may be holding you back from living the life you want. Treatment may also include exploration of your attachment style by discussing issues in childhood, and how they impact the way that you show up in the world today. Did you grow up with a parent that was emotionally unavailable or dismissive? Was it intentional or unintentional? These are topics that we may explore so you can see how the past is influencing your present. My job is to help you identify what triggers your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, and how to soothe them. I help you see the intention behind your trauma responses, and remind you that your body is always trying to keep you safe. My focus and passions include inner child healing, reparenting yourself as an adult, generational trauma, and nervous system regulation. If you are interested in a holistic and collaborative approach to your healing, email me today for a free 15-minute consultation. You could also peep my website and see if I may be a good fit: www.evolutiontohealing.com.

I am a California virtual therapist specializing in working with individuals ages 10+. My passion is for providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients to unpack their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist. I thank you for your interest and I am looking forward to meeting you.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable. Give me a call for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you!
