Dr. Nathan Okafor
Clinical Psychologist — Men's Attachment & Anxiety
Nathan runs a men's-only psychotherapy practice in Austin. His clinical work is split roughly 70/30 between relationship/dating presentations and general anxiety — which, he'll tell you, are usually the same problem wearing different clothes. He writes the clinically-rigorous side of Dating Rewired: why awareness of a pattern without a nervous-system intervention fails, what cognitive-behavioral and somatic approaches actually produce change, and how to tell an attachment issue from a confidence issue (they look identical from the outside). He cites the research, shares anonymized composites from his practice, and has zero patience for pop-psychology shortcuts.
