Hey, I am Djola McGowan, also lovingly called DJ. I am a neurodivergent Licensed Professional Counselor, based in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I identify as a woman and use the pronouns she/her. I am also a first-generation American, hailing from the land of wood and water Jamaica. I understand therapy to be a revolutionary act of self-care, and I view therapy as a collaborative process, she looks forward to working with her clients to find the best path to achieving their goals for wellness.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, it's my joy to endeavor to learn what it is you are looking for in a therapist and therapy. We will review consent, and work to identify how we can leverage this therapeutic relationship to be the best on your behalf.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In my 5 years in mental health, I have committed to being a servant-leader, responding to the unique issues that face our communities through advocacy, providing care, and resources. This passion aligns with my commitment to providing excellent service that is inclusive, culturally sound, and accessible to my valued clients.
