Hello, I’m
Sandra Okengwu
Expert Psychiatrist in NY & TN

Why Choose Us
Deeply Human, Relationship-Centered Care
Unlike many large, tech-driven mental health platforms, Reverent Health Psychiatry prioritizes continuity in relationship by ensuring that patients work with the same provider over time, thus building trust and therapeutic depth.
Our sessions are not rushed and have a genuine human touch, so patients feel seen, heard, and valued.
Holistic & Integrative Mental Health Model
At Reverent Health Psychiatry, we offer more than symptom control. Our holistic care integrates:
- Supportive therapy or coaching
- Lifestyle and behavioral health guidance
- Optional focus on spirituality or existential wellness
- Medication management
Values-Driven Practice
Our practice is driven by values such as empathy, respect, reliability, and up-to-date best practices. We honor every patient’s worth, including those who have felt dismissed or misunderstood in the past.
Our name “Reverent” isn't just branding. It reflects our philosophy of care.
Thoughtful Use of Technology
While we offer virtual care, we do not neglect patient privacy. We use secure and user-friendly platforms that make our patients feel safe and comfortable, even if they are not tech-savvy.
Our online services are also flexible, with between-session support such as messaging check-ins when appropriate.
Specialized, High-Touch Support for Complex Needs
Even patients with complex needs can get premium care at Reverent Health Psychiatry. We do not shy away from patients with:
- Trauma histories
- Co-occurring and recurring conditions
- Cultural or spiritual concerns
- Medication hesitancy
- We choose specialized care over one-size-fits-all approaches.
Flexible Scheduling
Reverent Health Psychiatry Psychiatry provides intentional and humane experience with consistent providers rather than AI bots often used by corporate virtual platforms. This gives the personal touch of a small practice but guarantees significant results.
