Specialties
We are in it to win it! Let's work together to bring healing in your life, for your children, in your relationship, and your family! Akiah (founder, Owner, Supervisor) has over 15 years of experience as a therapist working with families, couples, individuals, and children. We approach our work with hope and acceptance; and a holistic, attachment-focused, strategic, and trauma-informed framework. We want you to leave every session aware of what happened in therapy. So that at some point, you will learn how to apply what you learned in session outside of the therapy room. We consider our clients the experts, and we are merely guides to help our clients discover new things, muster up the courage to explore painful things, and be accountable to change. We believe that you are worth the time and effort it will take to help you reach the goals you have for yourself and your family. We trust the process that we will take to get from where you will begin..... to where you need to end. We are in it to win it, but we will not work harder than you! Hey, we want to work ourselves out of a job by empowering you to do what you were created to..., and we are super excited about what you will achieve...already!
