Greetings! Are common challenges such as anxious thoughts, chronic low energy, persistent feelings of sadness, or difficulties managing stress weighing you down? If so, as a therapist, I can engage you in a series of conversations with the goal of helping you determine what changes, if any, you would like to make to improve your emotional health, manage stressors, and pursue a valued lifestyle. I have years of clinical experience as a licensed counseling psychologist and my specialties include working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and substance use issues (alcohol and other drugs).
I would like to support you on your journey for positive personal change. My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Multicultural Counseling Therapy, and HeartMath biofeedback for stress management. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessments for diagnostic purposes
I currently offer therapy services in the evenings and on the weekends via video telehealth only. I also specialize in working with adults aged 22 and over. Feel free to contact me for additional information on my clinical practice, Okere Wellness Counseling and Consulting, PLLC.
