Clinical Director · Psychologist
Dr. Maya Okafor, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
she/her
“You are not a problem to be fixed. You're a person who's been coping the best way you knew how.”
Maya founded Aurora Mind Health after a decade in hospital outpatient programs, where she saw too many people wait months for care that didn't fit them. Her own practice blends the structure of CBT with the depth of trauma work — precise where precision helps, unhurried where it doesn't.
She works often with high-functioning anxiety: the people who look fine on paper and are quietly white-knuckling their weeks. Clients describe her as warm, direct, and allergic to jargon.
