Meet Kelechi Okwaraji
Compassionate and Expert Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Dedicated to Holistic Mental Health Care. Please note I do not prescribe stimulants or scheduled drugs.
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.
