Lauretta Akpoyoware

My communication style

Therapy is a collaborative journey. I will listen with empathy, without judgment, and create a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can take place.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been told that I was a great listener and easy to talk to growing up. My own personal experiences as an immigrant raised in a third-world country mainly fueled the desire within me to become a part of the helping profession to provide me with the opportunity to empower others to find their voice and fulfill their God-given purpose.

My goals for you

Goal setting is typically in collaboration with you as the client. This can either be done at the first session or in follow-up sessions. Progress will be measured through periodic use of applicable assessment tools and self-report. Homework activities will also be assigned to provide additional insight into topics discussed during sessions.
