Verdant Therapy & Wellness
Virtual Therapy for Arizona Veterans — Built by a Combat Veteran Who's Been Where You've Been.
Start feeling better in weeks, not months — no driving, no waiting rooms, no explaining military culture to someone who has never lived it.
You Are Welcome Here
You Carry Things Most Therapists Have Only Read About.
You do not need to explain yourself here.
Most therapists have read about what you carry. I have carried it. As an Army Infantry veteran with 8.5 years of service, I understand military culture, the weight of first response, and what it means to ask for help when your entire identity says push through. Verdant Therapy is built for the people who keep everyone else safe — and it meets you wherever you are in Arizona, through secure virtual sessions you can access from home.

Work with Uko Okon, LMSW — Army Infantry veteran · Licensed therapist · Phoenix, Arizona
I spent 8.5 years in service before becoming a clinician. I built Verdant Therapy because I know what it is like to need support and not know how to ask for it — and because the people who serve deserve a therapist who actually gets it.
