About
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner deeply committed to culturally competent, compassionate care, I strive to create a safe, respectful space where you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered in your healing journey.
I am Dr. Chika Okeoma, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to compassionate, culturally responsive care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Many of my clients seek clarity, emotional balance, and practical tools to improve their daily lives. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered as they work toward healing and lasting mental wellness.
My approach combines evidence-based treatment, thoughtful medication management, and a holistic understanding of each person’s experiences. I collaborate closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication, therapy strategies, and lifestyle support to help them build resilience and meaningful progress.
I believe every person deserves to feel understood, supported, and hopeful about their future. No matter where you are in your mental health journey, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we can work toward greater balance, clarity, and well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your path forward.

I look forward to utilizing my years of experience as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a Counselor as we work together in finding the correct regimen to help you be your best self.
Hello, my name is Chris Wall. I started my career as a mental health counselor before transitioning into my current area of practice as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), where I have worked for the last 14 years. In my years as a PMHNP, I have worked with all manner of clients and all forms of diagnosis. I understand the challenges we face, and many times psychiatric medications can be of great benefit—whether as a long-term or short-term solution.
As a PMHNP, I enjoy asking questions with an open-ended approach, giving my clients the freedom to express in their own words what symptomatology they may be struggling with. I develop individualized treatment plans to address specific client needs, and I look forward to delivering quality care through accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment.
I commend you for taking these steps to help and heal yourself. I would be happy to play at least a small part in this journey. If you would like to schedule an appointment, we will work together on any goals you may have. Thanks!

Borderline personality disorder counseling in Chesterfield, VA is the main form of treatment for borderline personality disorder. It teaches individuals skills that enable them to better manage and cope with their symptoms.
Borderline personality disorder counseling at Thriveworks is personalized to each individual. Depending on your unique needs, it can help you learn to manage uncomfortable feelings, reduce impulsivity, and improve relationships (which might otherwise be negatively affected by your condition).
Borderline personality disorder counseling with our Thriveworks Chesterfield therapists can be conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of borderline personality disorder counseling sessions will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. However, most treatments for borderline personality disorder last for 1-3 years.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can harm the way an individual thinks about themselves and how they relate to others. However, many people who go to therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder are able to manage their symptoms and live a healthy, happy life.
The therapists at Thriveworks Chesterfield have worked with many clients, helping them find treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. We have seen the difference a holistic and personalized treatment plan can make when an individual has BPD. Reach out today for help.

If you recognized any of the symptoms of BPD that you read about, it may be time to reach out. Help is available, and many who work with a therapist are often able to manage the symptoms and live the life they want—not the unstable life that BPD often tries to dictate. Thriveworks Chesterfield has appointments available, and when you call our office, you may be meeting with a counselor within the week. We offer evening and weekend sessions, but we do not put our clients on a waitlist. Instead, we want them to have to support they need when they need it.
