About

Hello! I'm Akia, a LCSW with over 20 years of experience as a social worker. I’m licensed in Pennsylvania. I assist clients in increasing their insight and awareness of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I believe the client-therapist relationship is very important in building a strong foundation for therapeutic success.
