    what our clients say about us!

    Client

    Justina always gives me support and reassuring words to keep me strong. It has been a time of mourning for me and her words help me stay on track and remind myself that I am human and am allowed my emotions during this time. I look forward to each appointment 🙂

    Client

    After over 2 years of struggling to find medication that helps me with my mental health, I was paired with Justina as a provider. Because of her, I have finally reached a point where I’m grateful for every day, and have the motivation to carry out tasks. I came from a place where I couldn’t get out of bed, had “unaliving” thoughts constantly, and hard a difficult time all the time. Now I have a routine where I take care of my health, both physically, emotionally, and healthily. I’ve struggled with depression and abuse for over a decade, and I never imagined that I could grow and become better. I’m extremely thankful foe Justina for changing my life for the better, and I’m glad I have the support throughout this process.

    Client

    Love Justina! So warm and kind. She seems to really understand my struggles and validates them, which is so nice after a lifetime of providers brushing them off.

    Client

    The visit went well! Dr. Okonkwo made me feel heard and listened to my concerns. She was very nice! Knowledgeable
    JAMES
    'I felt at ease talking to Justina Okonkwo and well heard. They have a kind demeanor and a clean office. I had trouble locating the office because it's connected to a church and the door was locked when I arrived, however once I was inside the service was quick and well handled. I was especially thankful of how quickly I got an appointment because other practices have a 2 month waiting period just to get an appointment, which is not ideal for people with ongoing conditions that are seeking help.'
    ANGELA
    Amazing provider. Listens and genuinely wants to help. I trust her completely with my care, so much so that I drive 1 1/2 hrs one way to see her.
    FARABIANCA
    My first appointment went great. The most important thing is that I felt listened to by my doctor. I have been praying for a new psychiatrist that listened to me the whole time and then after that I met my new doctor and I'm super excited about stable care that I will see in the future.
