About

Hi, my name is Alvina Acquaye and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have experience working with patients dealing with life threatening illnesses and working on ways to help them manage their symptoms and maintain some type of balance in their life. I have also done work in individual, family and group therapy sessions in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric programs, working on ways to piece someone's life back together so they can get back to a person they recognize and can motivate themselves to an improved view of who they are and the world around them. I have experience working with clients on anxiety, depression, relationship conflict and self-esteem issues.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I want to provide the best level of care to my clients and also provide a challenge in helping you be the person you want to be. Sometimes we need a little tweaking in our daily routines to get us back on track. I realize that in life we get overwhelmed by situations that are unexpected and out of our control and my job is to teach you ways in being present and working at things that are manageable for you. My approach combines cognitive- behavior,humanistic and psychodynamic counseling. I tailor the approach specific to your needs.

It's a big step to make when you are used to certain things so I applaud you for taking this next step in wanting to make a change that leads to a more happier and fulfilling life for you. I look forward to working with you.
