I believe connection is key to our well-being and I use a relational approach to uncover patterns in my clients' relationships with themselves and others. I specialize in providing healing treatment for trauma or just big life adjustments.
Hi! My name is Afia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an earned Masters degree from Central Connecticut State University. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector and have explored, incorporated and utilized many of the skills I gained from community and health settings to enhance myself as a therapist.
I am passionate about supporting people in finding healing and hope from all different walks of life. Many of my clients have started their healing journey feeling helpless in their parenting, swallowed by anxiety, bogged down by a fog of depression, out of control managing their ADHD, or keep hitting a dead end trying to repair their marriage or relationships.
I am an incredibly empathetic therapist who's joy is to provide a safe space to my clients. I utilize a variety of counseling theories in order to provide services. I am engaging and inquisitive and enjoy invoking humor within the sessions when appropriate.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my approach is centered on building a collaborative partnership with clients, actively listening to their needs and concerns to develop a tailored plan that empowers them to achieve their goals. My style is warm, supportive, and detailed assessment to reach a correct diagnosis in treating patients. .
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and behavioral health care. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience—helping clients feel understood while working together toward meaningful change.
My professional journey has included years of practice across inpatient, community, and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their goals and develop strategies for wellness and resilience.
I believe effective care blends clinical knowledge with empathy, respect, and open communication. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I have been Board certified Advanced Practice Nurse for 6 years. I have about 1 year experiencing specializing in generalized anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I have 4 years of experience as a telemedicine provider. I became a PMHNP because I take pride in helping other achieve a sense of joy in finding peace in their reality and creating healthy coping strategies.
