Our Story

A practice built on trust, evidence, and warmth.

DivineLight was founded to bridge the gap between clinical research and everyday life. We believe good social work is both a science and a craft — precise enough to change outcomes, human enough to feel like a real conversation.

Dr. Amara Okonkwo, LCSW

“I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over fifteen years of experience in community mental health, private practice, and organizational consultation. I understand the challenges my clients face because I've worked alongside families and communities navigating real, complicated lives.”

My work is grounded in CBT, trauma-informed care, and narrative practice — always adapted to the person in front of me.
