Healing begins with empowering people to recognize their control and individual strengths. We are all humans doing the best we can in our current circumstances. I use a blend of Gottman and EFT, while specializing in working with couples. I believe that any obstacle can be viewed as an opportunity to grow together and individually. For individuals, my approach is integrative, using CBT, psychodynamic, and humanistic existential approaches. I am dedicated to providing a safe space for individuals, couples, and families to feel supported, validated, and heard throughout their therapeutic journeys.

The World Needs You Fully Present. Are you ready to step into your power—to lead with confidence, show up in your relationships with full presence and devotion, and access a version of yourself that operates optimally? What if the thing holding you back isn't willpower or strategy? What if it's trapped in your nervous system? Your cellular memory. Emotional patterns running beneath your awareness.
I use the latest cutting-edge modalities—neuroscience, applied kinesiology, somatic healing, and over 18 years as a Psychotherapist and Coach—to access and release what's been blocking you from accessing your full potential.

I work with children, teens, adults & couples/partners who are navigating the many layers of being human. As a queer and trauma-informed therapist, I enjoy supporting anyone who feels weighed down by the external expectations or “shoulds” that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. With that comes the fun and challenging part of self-discovery, curiosity and imagination - to explore your values, needs and wants. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can show up as your full self. We'll work collaboratively so you can expect the therapy to be personalized to your goals, learning style and interests.

I also integrate art therapy to help when words are not enough.
I believe no two people are alike and my approach is eclectic, deriving from many different modalities to better serve my client's needs. My style integrates humanistic, mindfulness and problem solving. We all have the ability to heal from anything life throws our way and I'm here to assist in uncovering your healing potential. My way of looking at therapy is simple, people come to me because they're experiencing some kind of pain. I help them come to terms with what that pain is, where it's coming from and how to manage and heal it.

I specialize in structural family, individual, art, play, somatic, cultural, personal centered, and psychodynamic therapy.
My name is Chinwe Ezeonu, my pronouns are she/her, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Diaspora Therapy Group. I, as a biracial woman proudly come from two very different ethnic backgrounds, which are Filipino and Nigerian. Growing up I witnessed that mental health both in Filipino and Nigerian cultures was unheard of or seen as a weakness, but through much reflection, continual growth, and my therapy, it has helped me mend my views on mental health more positively.

I prioritize making the therapeutic environment active and flexible, creating space for all the overlapping spheres of the human experience. Between relationships, career, family, and the rest of the world, our lives and struggles are intertwined, making it sometimes hard to understand where one challenge starts or ends. By exploring the history and interconnectedness of our challenges and strengths, we can develop new understanding and identify strategies that feel nuanced, meaningful, and empowering. I maintain a client-centered approach allowing the client to work in a framework and pace that feels best for them.

Art Therapy is another creative tool I use to help clients gain perspective and step outside the problem, opening new paths towards healing and growth.
Relationships are complex-and so are we. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating relational distress or inner conflict. My approach is grounded in systems theory, helping us identify patterns that keep you feeling stuck, confused, or burdened, and finding new ways to create meaningful change. I have experience supporting clients who have experienced trauma or are living with anxiety, depression, or mood disorders. Together we’ll focus on building greater connections- with yourself and others- while fostering a sense of internal balance and understanding of Self.

When life feels overwhelming, whether in your relationships, family, or sense of self, it can be hard to know where to begin. Many of the individuals and couples I work with are carrying stress, emotional exhaustion, or patterns that no longer serve them, even though they’re doing their best to hold everything together.
Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what’s happening, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.
