Approaches to Therapy
Therapy is meeting you, where you are in life! I take great joy in assisting others with their journey and reaching their fullest potentials. I believe in a holistic approach by using narrative therapy to assist one with telling and perhaps re-writing your story. Identifying your strengths and building upon them, in-turn helps one build a stronger sense-of-self and their self-identity.
The techniques that I utilize are motivational interviewing and therapeutic treatments based on the strength’s perspective.
The treatment modalities that I utilize consist of the following psychotherapies: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Family Functional: Strategic/Structural Therapy.
My name is Akimma Wright-D’Abreau.
On my very first day as a counselor, I knew immediately, that this is the work that I was meant to do! My passion for understanding human behavior and life experiences, led me to the path of becoming a therapist and pursuing a doctorate degree in counseling. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young and older adults, and families. I enjoy working with all populations. At this time I will be servicing; Young and Older Adults, LGBTQ, Military, and Veterans.
