My name is Emmanuel Nwala, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and US Army Veteran. I come from a multicultural background. I have a PhD in Psychology, and a Master of Science degree in Counseling. I have a passion for helping people reach their self-actualization, whatever that may be for each person. I enter a counseling relationship with open mind, enthusiasm and hope for healing for whomever I am working with. I look forward to working together, with you.

I am eclectic in my approach to counseling, meaning that I use different counseling or consulting techniques in my practice because one approach may not fit all. I am trained at graduate education level in the use of different counseling techniques like CBT, DBT, Cognitive Processing, MI, etc. Please, click on my website to better understand your insurance

I am very person-centered and goal oriented. I show genuine interest in anyone I am working with. This means I see whoever I am working with as different from the presenting problems. I will work with you to establish goals for therapy and focus a lot of attention to helping you reach your goals for therapy.
