Linda Akunwafor, LGPC
Licensed in Washington D.C
I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I have spent the last 20 years working with vulnerable populations (i.e., serious mental health, homeless, domestic violence). My style of therapy is to lead with the heart and allow the client to drive the session. My job is to listen, understand and provide the necessary guidance. This could include just listening or using a therapeutic intervention such as thought diaries. I also believe in the power of humor when appropriate.
