Onuabuchi Okpon, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Onuabuchi!

I bring experience across diverse settings, fostering a deep understanding of life complexities. I form collaborative partnerships with clients to identify and harness their strengths. I focus on life's impact and assist in navigating transitions, ensuring support and empowerment in a compassionate environment.

My focus

I focus on the strengths you already possess and how you can utilize those strengths to navigate through numerous situations and challenges in your life.

My approach

I use a strength-based, client-centered, and solutions-focused approach. I believe strongly in building a partnership in order to cultivate a non-biased, non-judgmental, safe space where you can explore and grow.

My communication style

Direct with compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

I saw there were not enough people with representation for those of different shades of color. I wanted to provide a safe space for those who feel unheard, unseen, and not valued due to their difference, offering cultural competency, empathy, and compassion.

My goals for you

It is a shared experience where you take the lead. I walk alongside you as we work together toward the goals that matter most to you.

Our first session

We'll start with introductions and discuss expectations from both sides. I'll ask about your history and presenting concerns, and we'll explore the goals you'd like to work on together.
