Hi there, I'm Akua!
Welcome! It takes motivation and courage to reach out for assistance with life's challenges, and whether or not you feel we are a good fit, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to review my profile. From my 15+ years in the field of Social Work, I strongly believe that Talk Therapy can have an overwhelmingly positive impact on mental health.
My focus
Presently, I work with adults of all ages experiencing instability in various facets of their lives. These challenges include: income loss, addiction, homelessness, anger management, incarceration, self-esteem issues, historical trauma, chronic pain, the pursuit of higher education, and loss of support systems.
My approach
During graduate school, I focused on Clinical Social Work and also Inter-group Dialogue. This enhanced my abilities at facilitating conversations that strive to create new levels of understanding, relating, and action. I also spent over 10 years doing advocacy work, which heightened my reality-based approach to solutions and goal-setting.
