I'm Dr. Akamin Nkengaka, a License Clinical Social Worker and a License Advanced Alcohol & Drugs Counselor with 15 years of evidence based clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma informed care, suicidal ideation, abuse, self-esteem, and relationships. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you to overcome negative challenges in your life.
My theoretical approach is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy model. That is, patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the client’s presenting circumstances. Counseling services are offered on an individual basis, couple, family, and group therapy sessions.
I frequently integrate other theoretical approaches into evidence based theoretical models including motivational interviewing techniques, EMDR, ASAM, Mindfulness, Narrative therapy, Harm Reduction, Codependency, Trauma Informed Care, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorders.
