Dr Valerie Oji
Pharm D, BCPPBiographical Info
Dr. Valerie Oji, Pharm D, BCPP, is a Christian pharmacist of 25+ years’ experience who is well versed in Biblical Framework Counseling and has been actively involved in a variety of ministries in her church. She is pursuing research which explores potential biblical applications to the treatment of mental disorders.
While Dr. Oji realizes that medication is not the root answer to the great majority of mental disorders that are immaterially caused, she is also aware that, as people are counseled biblically, they may be on medication. If so, they may have a need to understand the effects of those medications and may need to be guided wisely as they move to taper off of them under the care of their personal physician.
To these ends, Dr. Oji is available for consultation through her Medication Counseling Ministry at the secure website http://www.medpolicy.com. She can also be reached at medgal8@gmail.com or at 218-377-6474.
