Coral Psychiatry acknowledges the unique challenges faced by black women and wants to prioritize their wellbeing. Dr. Okwerekwu offers women of African ancestry care that recognizes the legacy of enslavement and colonization and the ongoing trauma of being forced to function in non-inclusive systems. For these patients, her Afro-centric approach to mental health advocates for connection, joy, and harmony rather than acquiescence to systems of oppression.
Psychiatric care that puts you first.
I’m Dr. Jennifer Okwerekwu. During the most pivotal transitions in life—the times when your body and your life are rapidly changing—I want to offer you the expertise, compassion, and genuine care you deserve.
My patients’ unique needs are at the forefront of my practice: hearing them when others have not listened, acknowledging their challenges when others have downplayed them, and empowering them to take control of their health, wellness, future, and family.
What is reproductive psychiatry?
Reproductive psychiatry is a subspecialty of psychiatry born out of the fact that treating psychiatric disorders during women’s reproductive years is particularly complex and therefore requires specialized care.
We focus on the intersection between mental health and:
Menstruation
Infertility & pre-conception
Women’s health conditions
Pregnancy & postpartum
Perimenopause
