About
I believe the most effective mental health care happens when people feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as whole individuals—not just treated for symptoms.
My name is Millian Okafor, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified psychiatric provider dedicated to helping individuals navigate emotional, psychological, and life challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. My professional background includes experience working with adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress-related disorders, burnout, mood disorders, and life transitions.
My approach combines psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and patient-centered care recognizing the connection between mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I typically work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck—seeking symptom relief, healthier coping strategies, or a stronger sense of balance.
I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment process.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner and mother of two, I believe mental health care works best when people feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
Hi, I'm Nikkia Gattuso, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, insomnia, mood disorders, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck and are looking for practical solutions and lasting relief. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized. I take the time to listen, understand your goals, and create a treatment plan that helps you improve your mental health, build resilience, and feel more like yourself again.

As a woman of color and mother to a special needs child, I understand the unique challenges of navigating between the various roles that come with this background.
My name is Kaydean and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I work with ages 12 and up. I have been treating depression and anxiety since 2019, while working as a family nurse practitioner. I changed specialties when I became aware of the shortage in mental health and I wanted to help bridge that gap in client care. I typically work with adults who face high levels of stress. These adults sometimes have trauma or an underlying mood disorder and seek my help to maintain function and productivity in their daily lives.
I address these concerns through medication management and psychotherapy. I'm conservative in my treatment plans and will rule out underlying medical issues.
After all that you have been through, it makes sense that you are stressed and feeling like you have no more bandwidth left. Let's explore these feelings together.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Tampa, FL specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Tampa can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
