Jennifer Akotoh, MHC-LP Associate Therapist - Black Therapist Online

---

Do you ever feel like life's challenges are constantly getting in the way of your ability to live a healthy and fulfilling life? When setbacks and disappointments pile up, it's easy to feel discouraged and helpless. But what if there was a way to break through the resistance and start making progress towards your goals? Let's explore how we can work together to overcome life's obstacles and live the life you truly desire.

I will work with you in a collaborative manner to identify how I can help you live your life in an authentic and fulfilling manner. You will be empowered to tap into your capacity to achieve personal growth and change in all the ways you desire. I also appeal to different modalities to help address challenges in your life. Additionally, using the tenants of psychodynamic theory, I can help you examine how your initial relationships with your caregivers and other family members influence your self-view, world view, and how this creates the framework for how you engage in relationships with others.

As a result of my approach, you will become better equipped to tend to the needs of your emotional life and develop healthy coping skills to deal with the stressors of life so that you feel empowered to live abundantly and authentically.
