My treatment methods

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

AEDP enables me to understand each of my client's issues by aiding them to process their painful memories in order to build new, healthy coping skills, restoring their ability to trust, and be more in tune with feeling their own emotions.

Child Parent Psychotherapy

I've use Child Parent Psychotherapy to repair the bond between parent and child that was fractured due to trauma by the following I strengthen the attachment between the child and parent. Over the course of the sessions I improve the overall mental health of the child and parent by providing both the child and parent with coping skills and increasing the sense of safety and security in the child-parent relationship

Uzo Amaka was warm and was authentically encouraging. She has faith in God and seems very supportive of my mental well being.
