James Okafor

LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker · 9 years experience

James Okafor is a licensed clinical social worker with a particular focus on men navigating depression, grief, and relational challenges in a culture that often discourages vulnerability. He creates a direct, warm space where it feels safe to speak honestly — without judgment. His practice draws on psychodynamic insight and attachment theory, always grounded in practical next steps. James completed his MSW at the University of Michigan and has worked with community mental health centers across the Midwest before moving to telehealth.
