Hello, my name is Nkem, a dedicated and experienced psychologist with a passion for helping individuals achieve their full potential. With a deep-rooted passion for understanding the human mind and behavior, I've devoted my career to guiding individuals on their journey towards improved mental health. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, empowering them to lead happier and more fulfilling lives. My approach is built on compassion, empathy, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that every individual I work with receives the highest standard of care.
The top priority for a healthy therapeutic experience is the relationship I build with my client. In collaboration, the best therapeutic approach is tailored to your needs; client-focused. The various therapeutic approaches I use are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MBCT), schema therapy (ST), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Prior to my psychology training, I have been an activist creating awareness of the dangers of child sexual abuse in Alexandria, VA, Nigeria, and the diaspora; creating safe spaces for others to share their stories and support one another. I also worked in various Bureaus within the Department of State in the United States.
I am a Nigerian, American, mother, traveler, and queer. I bring a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise to my practice, creating a safe and empathetic space for clients of diverse identities and backgrounds. I provide a safe space and a listening ear for you to communicate your story openly and honestly.
