Work with Muma Azeh (Masters, Clinical, mental, health, counseling, CCMHC)

About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with three years of experience in the United States and 13 years of experience in marriage and parenting in Cameroon, Africa, with the Worldwide Marriage Encounter and the Catholic church. I served with the faith-based organization as a parenting coach for 12 years. I served as a Behavioral Health Consultant at Brookland Medical Practice, Cayce, South Carolina, as a Qualified Mental Health Professional at the South Carolina Department of Corrections. Currently, I am a Military Family and Life Counselor in Columbia SC coupled with being an online Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a National Certified Counselor, and currently completing a Ph.D. in psychology. In a few months, I will graduate.
I welcome the client to the counseling session with a smile and encourage them to feel free to tell me their difficulties, problems, or constraints. I like counseling adults from 25 years and above. I encourage clients not to see themselves as the problem or the disorder but as human beings with difficulties or suffering from an illness. I treat my client with respect, sensitivity to their core beliefs, and empathy with their issues. I also handle relationship issues and other life experiences issues.

My core counseling approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I combine this approach with person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and narrative counseling. I mostly used open-ended questions when dialoguing with clients., these questions are tailored based on the client's needs. I have understood that with the helping profession, you have to love the career, and I love my career. The helping profession needs both courage and determination from both the counselor and the client.

Muma is a great Therapist. He is knowledgeable and in tuned with his clients. My best interest is a priority to him. He is very understanding and empathetic while presenting the truth. Muma helps his clients discover the root and provides the tools and techniques to bring us to a healthy and positive life.

Muma has been the best therapist I've had. He took his time researching things like no other therapist I've been to. He's fantastic.

Muma is an expert at what he does. Kind, encouraging, precise, and tactical are ways I would describe his approach and my experience with him. My time with him will continue to impact my life long after counseling.

Muma has been a great help in identifying the root causes of my problems and giving me solutions in skills in order to help me in my everyday life. I would not be where I am without his guidance.

Changed so much in my life

Written by S.T. on Feb 06, 2022 after therapy with Muma for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, and self esteem

Mr Azeh is very professional and knowledgeable. He is tentative to your issues and gives logic explanations. He is nonjudgmental and easy to talk to. I highly recommend.

Amazing Therapist

Written by B.I. on Nov 09, 2021 after therapy with Muma for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, and self esteem

I've only had 2 meeting with Muma, and he's already asked me questions I've never been asked before, even thought I've previously been in therapy. I feel like he looks at me like an individual and is trying to make breatkthroughs in emotions I may have blocked subconsciously. I am thrilled he was recommended to me!

Written by S.H. on Oct 29, 2021 after therapy with Muma for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I’m so grateful that I was matched with Mr. Muma!! I feel so free whenever I’m talking to him. His strategies of counseling have been successful thus far. And I would not ask for anybody better!

Written by N.I. on Jul 17, 2021 after therapy with Muma for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Thank you Muma.
After a number of false starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Muma sooner! Over a period of 2 years I had seen multiple therapists and psychiatrists to address issues relating to psychosis, depression and my current scenario. With invariably unsatisfying results, I was extremely skeptical about seeing another therapist: more fundamentally I was utterly pessimistic about the possibility of being happy. My skepticism proved unfounded.

Muma really helped me to elucidate and articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of thinking, which proved essential to work with me. He is patient and compassionate. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful.

The process resulted in my feeling much better with only 2 live sessions and number of audio/text messages that I sent.

Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or feeling like therapy is a dead end, I believe you have nothing to lose and plenty gain by seeking out an introductory session with Muma.

Thank you Muma.

I am very happy and glad that I found Muma otherwise I would have not been alive to write this comment. He saved my life and helped me open my eyes and see the truth around me. He has knowledge in life beyond counseling and in everything even business and I would be forever thankful to him for his advices. I went from unemployed and chased by the bank to having my own company and hiring people. I went from running away from my wife to having the most fulfilling and loving relationship with her. Muma is the person who would put all his efforts into helping you and you can see that he really cares from his heart which is so empowering to feel that way about someone who is there for you.

Written by C.A. on May 29, 2021 after therapy with Muma for 2 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, family conflicts, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, and self esteem

Within the first couple of sessions Muma hit the nail on the head with insights that I had never thought of even though I feel I'm relatively in touch with my issues. He challenges me (necessary as I can be challenging) but is kind and encouraging. He keeps in touch all week and that helps me continue to work on myself rather than just ignore the time between sessions.

Written by J.U. on Apr 30, 2021 after therapy with Muma for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating disorders, and coping with life changes

Muma Azeh is the only therapist I've ever had that has helped me. He doesn't beat around the bush - if something needs to be said, it gets said. That is honestly such a breath of fresh air. It makes me feel listened to, acknowledged, but also reminds me that I tend to get into my own head and need to have a reality check sometimes. I got out of one of the darkest times in my life thanks to therapy with him and I am forever thankful for the patience, kindness, honesty and care I have, and continue to, receive from him. Thank you for all that you do.

Written by T.I. on Feb 26, 2021 after therapy with Muma for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse

Dr. M. Is the BEST! Attentive, kind and empathetic! He tells it like it is but with compassion. In a short time- he’s been able to show me how past traumas have hindered me and how to move out of my own way!
Can’t wait to see the end result of the work we’re doing!
I’d give him 10 stars if that were an option.

Muma azeh is an excellent counselor in my opinion, he listens and he understands straight away my struggles but also how my life experiences shaped me. After talking to him I felt like I understood somenthing about myself that I did not see before!
