Hello there! Welcome to a transformative journey with Akua Anokye! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to empowering you through compassionate, non-judgmental mental health care. My unique, strengths-based approach has proven over the years to be effective at helping you navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
My approach
I embrace a non-judgmental stance and specifically focus on your inherent strengths while partnering with you to build on what you already possess—your unique capabilities and inner resources that you might not even know yet you possess! I also utilize psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral therapy as well as Solution-Focused therapy to help equip clients with needed tools to navigate identified problems.
My focus
I enjoy working with adults who can manage daily responsibilities and engage in therapy without experiencing overwhelming distress, individuals who are motivated to work on identified problems, set goals, and participate actively in the therapeutic process and those who are interested in therapy not just for crisis management but for personal enrichment and preventive care. I treat anxiety , depression and stresses that come with managing life transitions.
My communication style
My communication style is clear , compassionate and direct when appropriate. I allow a lot of room for client reflection and feedback as well as collaborative goal setting. I strongly believe being aware of and respecting cultural, ethnic, and individual differences is paramount and I integrate these into my work with clients. I am flexible, reliable and utilize a supportive presence which promotes clients feeling supported and empowered.
My journey to mental healthcare
My joy as a therapist is whenever I get to see clients feel empowered and begin to make progress towards problems brought to treatment.
My goals for you
I utilize a very collaborative framework to set goals with clients. A goal should make sense to, be important to and be achievable for a client. Thus my process involves working together with clients to define objectives that are meaningful, realistic, and tailored to their individual needs. I encourage active involvement of clients, mutual agreement, actionable steps and ongoing evaluation along with open and transparent communication through out the process.
My first session with you
The first session is where I get to meet the client, build connection, and learn about their experiences and motivation for treatment. I also gather background information, explain the process, clarify goals and encourage questions to address client concerns. This is aimed at ensuring that the client feels understood, valued, and prepared for the journey ahead.
