Connect with Dr. Joseph A. Twumasi-Ankrah
With a deep-rooted passion for facilitating positive change in individuals' lives, I bring a solid academic foundation and hands-on experience to the realm of therapy. Holding a Ph.D. & LMSW, I have honed my skills through extensive work with diverse clientele, addressing issues ranging from anxiety and depression to relationship dynamics. My therapeutic approach, grounded in strength based practice, is not only evidence-based but also aligned with my values of empathy, respect, and cultural competence.
I have experience with individuals with wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and personality disorders to learning how to navigate family and partner relationships. I am dedicated to reaching black and other communities of color in an effort to normalize and decrease the stigma of therapy.
