About me

My major goal is helping my clients work towards healing, recovery, and change. I believe we are capable to heal, recover, and change, regardless of how deep we hurt. I'll walk with you on your individual journey, and help you develop positive coping skills to deal with life stressors. I'll coach you to replace negative thought patterns with positive thought process, so you can reclaim your peace emotionally and relationally. I also provide therapy for counselors - a safe place where therapists process their own feelings about relationships, marriage, parenting, school, finances, work.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Chukwudi Oparaku. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Chukwudi is a wonderful counselor! He is super positive and helpful and genuinely wants to see you find inner calm, to the best of your ability. He was timely, reliable and a great listener. I really appreciated his approach to dealing with stressful situations as well! Thanks for everything!

Chukwudi blew me alway in our first session. He nailed my source of anger in less than 20 minutes. I’ve tried working with other therapists and got nowhere. His experience and global perspective of human nature and relationships is truly incredible. For folks that like to communicate with messages Chukwudi is quick to respond, but he doesn’t do therapy through messaging... and if you work with him you’ll understand it. He’s amazing in sessions and always respects my time.

Chukwudi has been a big part in my process of healing. We have been figuring out strategies to move forward instead of focusing on the past.

Although I feel optimistic already, it’s fair to say healing is a rollercoaster but I have more ups than downs. I look forward to working with him till I find myself again.

Valentine is kind and well spoken to help me with my personal problems. He brings a lighter approach which may not be for everyone but worked perfectly for me. He opened me up to new ideas that I never thought of remedying. I appreciate all the help he’s given.

Chuckwudi is an incredible mental health professional. He is empathetic and compassionate and has been an amazing resource for me. He always provides great perspective and brings a deep understanding of the traumatic experiences of my childhood. He provides me with great exercises to address my trauma and has been an an incredibly accommodating to my rather busy schedule. I cannot say enough about Chukwudi. 10/10 would recommend!!!!!!
