She provides thoughtful second opinions when a diagnosis or treatment plan doesn’t feel right, along with safe, gradual tapering support when reducing or discontinuing medication is appropriate.

Why We Recommend Combining Therapy with Medication

For many mental health conditions, combining therapy with medication leads to stronger and longer-lasting results. Medication can help stabilize symptoms, while therapy provides the tools to process emotions, build coping skills, and create meaningful change.

When appropriate, Dr. Maxine C. Okafor works collaboratively with your therapist to ensure your care feels aligned and intentional. If you’re not currently in therapy, she can help guide you toward therapeutic support that complements your medication plan—so your care is cohesive and well-rounded.

Maxine is simply the best in the business, hands down. She is caring and supportive and listens very well. She makes sure to address all of your concerns while not over medicating you like some doctors do.

Such a sweet and caring person! I was having problems with my pharmacy and she went out of her way to help me solve the issue asap. Great communicator, great listener. Highly recommend.

She is very knowledgeable of the medications, and explained in depth of the medications and side effects. She let's you participate in the plan of care and respects you as a person without judging you. I will surely let my friends and family that needs help see her. I love her European accent in addition to her manners. Thank you so much Lorraine!

This practice (and especially the provider I see, Lorraine) is awesome. They are always kind, helpful, and friendly, and I've never had to wait more than a minute or two to get connected to my appointment. Lorraine is very nice, has excellent bedside manner, and is very competent in the medical field. She also goes above and beyond for her patients: I was having issues with my pharmacy last month, and before I even told her about it or asked her to call them, she had already called to find out what needed to be done to resolve it. I would recommend The Perfect Prescription medical practice and especially Lorraine to anyone who is looking for a new provider!
