Hi there, Welcome to therapy! I'm Dr. Akamin Nkengaka, a Licensed Psychotherapist. I work with clients both in person and through teletherapy platforms. I’m happy that you have taken the first step towards healing. First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for choosing therapy and allowing me to be part of your healing process. Taking this step requires courage, and I commend you for it. I have had the privilege of assisting individuals like yourself in their healing journey. My therapeutic approach is client-centered model and solution focus which means that I tailored sessions to meet your unique need.
I promise to listen with understanding, empathy, and non-judgmental. Your experiences matter, and I’m here to validate them. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, vocational stress, intimate relationship conflicts, trauma, unipolar depression, grief, PTSD, substance abuse, eating disorders, and any other emotions, know that you’re not alone.
Your privacy is paramount. Anything you share within our sessions remains confidential, except in situations where safety is at-risk. Even during challenging moments, there’s room for hope. Together, we’ll explore coping strategies, self-awareness, and resilience. Please feel free to share your thoughts, concerns, or questions. Our journey begins now.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
