I have experience working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. I take a strengths-based, person-centered approach that is collaborative, grounded, and supportive, creating a space for you to feel understood and move forward with intention aligned with your values.

Are your current ways of coping with anxiety, depression, or soul exhaustion starting to feel misaligned, or even costly?
Do you find yourself prioritizing safety and survival in your career, relationships, or daily life, only to realize there’s little space left for ease, joy, or true rest?
Many of the people I work with are outwardly successful, deeply thoughtful, and quietly overwhelmed. Together, we shift from survival-based coping into a life that feels emotionally regulated, internally peaceful, and aligned with who they are becoming.

Art therapy is for people of all ages. The approach works well if you are drawn to visual expression and hands-on, creative ways of exploring your experiences, even if you don’t consider yourself good at art. It can help you process stress, navigate trauma or life transitions, better understand yourself, regulate your emotions, and discover new ways to cope in a meaningful, creative way.

Are you struggling with a recent medical diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, or going through a divorce? Do you find yourself constantly worrying about your future and wondering if you will ever feel like yourself again? You're not alone. Many people going through unexpected life transitions wonder if they will ever be happy again. My specialization is working with individuals who have been diagnosed with a chronic and/or terminal illness and are striving to adapt to their "new normal". I understand the anxiety, anger, and sadness that come with facing an unknown future.

Currently accepting new clients for anxiety and trauma-focused therapy. You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. If life feels heavy or overwhelming, therapy can be a place to slow down and feel supported. I work with older teens and adults experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, PTSD, and life transitions. My goal is to offer a calm space where you feel understood and can begin making sense of what you’re carrying. As a Latina therapist and parent, I bring compassion, cultural awareness, and respect for your lived experience.

I am passionate about supporting clients experiencing life transitions and serious mental health challenges in understanding their inner experience, navigating and processing trauma, and celebrating and reinforcing their strengths with a collaborative approach. I particularly enjoy working with those with histories of complex trauma and dissociative symptoms, young adults, folks with expansive experiences of gender and sexuality, and neurodiversity.

Hi, I’m Sia Acquah, a LCSW.
Clients seek my services when they reach a point in their life where they recognize that what they have been doing is no longer working for them. They may not always have the exact words to describe what feels wrong, but they know they want things to change. Often, they come in feeling overwhelmed, weighed down by anxiety, depression, or stress that feels too heavy to carry alone. Others seek my services during a major life transition that has left them feeling unmoored. Still others simply sense an inner restlessness: a desire to know themselves more deeply and live with greater clarity and purpose.

As a therapist, my ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their inner world with honesty and courage. They may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, or life transitions. Many come feeling stuck—emotionally, mentally, or even spiritually—and they often carry the weight of unmet needs from childhood, societal pressure, or chronic stress.

Change does not occur overnight, yet it occurs over time and it takes time and patience! My goal is to walk alongside you as we work together to take meaningful steps toward healing, discovering your purpose, and finding true happiness within yourself! I am passionate about this work because I understand that each person carries their own experiences, challenges, and forms of trauma. I worked closely with adolescents and young adults where I meet them where they are and allow them to openly express themselves. I also support women and men who have experienced trauma and major life transitions.
