Adaobi Iheduru, LP — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Adaobi!

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with survivors of trauma, cross-culturally with immigrant populations. I believe that we all have the internal strengths to overcome whatever life throws our way. As such, I work from a strengths-based model while also incorporating a multicultural lens.

My focus

I look forward to working with individuals who are ready for change but may be worried or afraid to take that first step. My goal is to explore your fears and empower you to feel confident in putting your well-being first. Therapy is definitely difficult, and it can also be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.

My approach

When working with clients, we will focus on discovering and enhancing internal strengths, empowering you to be your best self and live more authentically. I work from a strengths-based and client-centered approach, meeting clients where they are while also empowering them to make the changes needed for effective functioning.

My communication style

I create a safe space that makes clients feel comfortable sharing such personal parts of themselves with me. I am also a direct communicator, so I will provide concrete and direct feedback to you. I will hold you accountable to ensure our sessions are productive and you achieve your therapeutic goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into psychology evolved from my deep desire to serve others, particularly those from diverse backgrounds and marginalized communities. That has remained at the core of my work throughout the years, and I have had the honor of working with clients with diverse experiences, walking alongside them and empowering them to find hope & healing.

My goals for you

We will work together to examine your current challenges and patterns with a goal of understanding their origins and current impacts on your life. Then we will work together to create more adaptive and healthy skills that will enable you to function more effectively and live a more fulfilled life.

Our first session

During our first session together, we will explore the issues you are currently struggling with as well as steps you have taken in the past to address them. Then, we will begin to explore your goals for therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. Together, we will develop a plan that is focused on your healing and well-being.
