(she/her)
Hi! I’m Akilah Bakeer-Pullum a licensed clinician (LCSW), with over 10 years of experience partnering with clients. I enjoy creating a warm, supportive, and accepting therapeutic environment, often using humor to put clients at ease. My goal is to provide the highest level of care by customizing treatment and drawing from a myriad of evidence-based practice models. In doing so I am able to meet my clients where they are as we work together to improve their quality of life.
In the first session we’ll begin building rapport and with the information you provide we’ll create your treatment goals that will guide the work that we do together.
I pride myself on creating a relaxed, friendly and non-judgmental environment. In doing so I’m able to help my clients feel comfortable with partnering with me and achieving their goals for themselves.
I enjoy working with adults who are struggling with anxious and, or sad feelings and are ready for a change, but lack the tools and capacity to see their efforts through.
