Dr. Kwame Frimpong

As a Ghanaian immigrant, husband, and father, I understand how culture, family expectations, and life transitions can shape our relationships and sense of belonging. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Liberty University. I also serve as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Counseling and bring nearly 30 years of ministry experience. I support adults and couples navigating divorce, separation, infidelity, communication difficulties, relationship conflict, and trauma. My divorce support includes processing grief, establishing boundaries, navigating co-parenting, and rebuilding confidence. I also work with immigrants facing cultural and family challenges. My background includes Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2 training and EMDR training. I offer a compassionate space for clients from diverse backgrounds, including those who wish to integrate Christian faith into counseling. Together, we work toward healing, healthier relationships, and greater confidence in your next steps.

My approach is structured, trauma-informed, relationship-focused, and practical. I help couples understand the patterns beneath conflict, rebuild emotional safety, improve communication, and strengthen trust and connection.

When infidelity is involved, I use a structured recovery framework: TRUTH → TRAUMA → TRIGGERS → TRUST → MARRIAGE #2. This helps couples address what happened, process the emotional impact of betrayal, manage triggers, rebuild trust, and intentionally create a healthier relationship moving forward.

I integrate Gottman-informed interventions, attachment principles, trauma-informed strategies, EMDR when appropriate, and practical tools tailored to each couple’s needs.

You can expect the first session to be focused, compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. I will take time to understand what brought you to therapy, the history of the relationship, the patterns that keep repeating, and what each partner hopes will change.

We will begin identifying concerns related to communication, trust, emotional safety, conflict, intimacy, trauma, or betrayal when relevant. I also pay attention to each partner’s strengths, needs, and goals.

By the end of the first session, we will have a clearer understanding of the main issues affecting the relationship and begin developing a focused treatment direction. My goal is for both partners to feel heard while also creating a practical path forward.
