Khayriyyah Ekeke, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Khayriyyah!

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm glad you are here. My goal is to create a space where women feel safe and accepted as they navigate life's challenges and discover their own strength.

My focus

I enjoy working with women who feel stuck or emotionally exhausted. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, motherhood, pregnancy, postpartum changes, or a life transition, you do not have to carry it alone.

My approach

Everyone is unique. I take time to understand your story, your strengths, and what matters most to you. I take a collaborative and goal oriented approach tailored to your needs. I integrate evidence-based techniques while recognizing your values and lived experiences to help you build practical skills and lasting resilience.

My communication style

I'm warm, empathetic, and honest. I'll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge you when it helps you grow. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can exhale and be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to helping people through difficult seasons of life. Becoming a therapist allowed me to combine that passion with clinically supported care so I can help guide women as they heal and reconnect with themselves.

My goals for you

We will start by figuring out what you want life to look like and break that into manageable steps. My goal isn't just to help you feel better during sessions but it is to help you build confidence and skills that continue long after therapy ends.

Our first session

The first session is simply a conversation. I'll want to learn about you, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope will be different. There is no pressure to share everything at once and will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
