My name is Dorothy Aguwa. I completed my master’s degree in Social Work at Wayne State University in 1989 in Detroit, Michigan with over 32 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings, including outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, private practice, and case management. I have a broad range of clinical experience working with individuals and groups across the life span in the areas of mood disorders, PTSD, psychotic disorders, anger and stress management, family and relationship issues, anxiety disorders and borderline personality disorder.

Are you worried or stressed out? Does it seem like you can't get your feet under you? Do you have trouble getting over a traumatic event? Have you tried to solve your problems on your own and then realized that you need help? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then coming here was the right choice. I know it can be hard to ask for help. You've probably been thinking about getting help for months, if not years. I'm so glad you finally took the brave step to do so.

Do you feel like you're not good enough? Do you feel like you're not in control? Do you feel like you've been overlooked? Are you harboring feelings of anger, or resentment towards yourself or someone else? Are you in a never ending cycle of worry, guilt, denial, or regret? Is it hard for you to be around others without feeling judged or ridiculed? If you have answered yes to ANY of the above questions, let me help you. I provide therapy in an authentic nonjudgmental manner for individuals, couples or families.

What I love about being a Christian Counselor is that it allows me to be the person I once needed. Have you lost hope or purpose and struggling to maintain a healthy quality of life? Do you need help making life work again? If you answered yes; you have come to the right place. Coming Up For Air Counseling Ministries will journey with you as you become your best-self. I will help you view life from a different perspective, help you to recognize missed-opportunities and motivate you to discover the skills to make life work again.

I'm a National Board Certified, Licensed Professional Counselor. I treat clients for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem and anger issues, post traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD), sexual trauma, career and life coaching. I use an integrated theoretical approach that includes Cognitive Behavior and Existential Therapy. I use an empathic and individualized approach to help my clients. I strive to honor and respect the uniqueness of each individual; beginning therapy by identifying and understanding my client's goals and establishing a treatment plan based on those individualized goals.

I'm more than just a family psychologist. As a busy mother, wife, and career-loving person myself, I've been there. I understand how hard it is to get everyone into the same room at dinner time, let alone into my office for a session. You want to know that the time you spend with me is worth it, and I don't blame you.

As life progresses, we each encounter difficulties that create ripples in our lives. I aim to create a collaborative space in which to discuss the ways in which clients can experience change and feel empowered. Creating a non-judgemental space is crucial to me within the therapeutic environment, so that exploration of self can occur. I have had extensive clinical experience in identity formation, depression, coping, grief, comorbid mental health diagnoses, and anxiety. I enjoy developing a strong alliance with clients in order to facilitate a sense of growth.

At some point in our lives we will experience emotional and psychological distress. Most people will try to avoid, or go through their distress without seeking help. People choose to do this because they are not sure how therapy will help them. Therapy helps us understand why we act and respond in ways that cause us harm, get through ruff times, strengthen our family ties and bonds, build healthier relationships and fix the mess we have made in our lives. Therapy helps us to identify and process feelings and emotions, so that we can grow and move forward to lead more productive and quality lives.

My team and I aim to help you move pass relationship issues, feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, frustrated or angry. We are ready to help you if you have experienced the loss of a loved one, or have daily feelings of sadness, fatigue or anxiety. We are able to help, if you've had to deal with emotional distress due to physical pain, lack of energy due to medical issues. Perhaps are you faced with job stress/loss, divorce or just an overall feeling of frustration from the daily cares of life? We care and can help you sort things through.

My goal as a mental health professional is to support you as you face challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss and chronic disease. Through a client-centered partnership, my hope is to help you thrive in all aspects of your well-being.

Many people go through the stages of life and forget to take the time to reflect and take care of their mental health. I believe it is very important to make your mental health a priority. Your mind is connected to your physical and spiritual well-being, if one is unhealthy this affects the others. With the daily challenges of enduring a pandemic, dealing with social, and political issues, I am here to be an advocate and partner in helping individuals better themselves and their mental health. There may be stigmas or taboos surrounding mental health in your communities, but I am here to say that YOU and your mental health matter.

My objective is to help you understand how contributing factors such as family dynamics, developmental influences and community resources shape your responses. Together we will identify manipulative, exploitative interactions and their underlying intentions, and learn to develop appropriate social skills. I will model and reinforce behaviors for getting needs met appropriately. We will identify how you are affected by the behavior of others, and how others are affected by your behavior.
