Dr. Ebony Iheanacho
Dr. Ebony is the founder of Myrtle Street Counseling. At Myrtle Street Counseling we recognize that everyone needs help from time to time, but the hardest step is asking for help. Now that you’re here, you are well on your way to living the life you want. We use systemic thinking and various therapies and techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Narrative therapy, Solution focused brief therapy, Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help our clients live better lives. We encourage our clients to share their faith in therapy as this is a huge source of strength in the healing process. We like working collaboratively with our clients to identify the problem(s) causing emotional distress in their life and alternative ways to solve their problems. At MSC, we aim to provide exceptional care to professional, women of color.
I also encourage my clients to share their faith in therapy as this can often be a huge source of strength in the healing process.
We also enjoy working with older children (10+), individuals, couples, families and groups. Some issues we have worked with are anxiety, depression, life-transitions (e.g. school, relocations, physical illnesses), child adjustments, PTSD, and grief. We look forward to witnessing your transformation in therapy!
First session
During your first session we will review your intake form, assessments and get to know each other to ensure client-therapist fit. Remember, therapy only works if the vibes are right. We will also focus on treatment goal-setting during our first session. So please remember to complete your intake paperwork before your first session. Otherwise, session time may be used to complete your paperwork. Please note that I do not provide Letter Requests: LOA, FMLA, ESA etc.
Strengths
My greatest strengths include my warm and accepting personality, authenticity, compassion, and dedication to your treatment.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to work with professional women of color and adult children of immigrants. I also enjoy working with client's wanting to improve their self-esteem and establish a healthy identity. My ideal clients are ready to do the hard work in therapy. I appreciate clients who understand that I can not do the inner work for them and take responsibility of their part in our therapeutic relationship.
