Hello and congratulations to the second step in taking care of you!
My hope and intention is to be of assistance to those who are open to change and healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience and have an eclectic style in my approach to therapy. I work to help those gain insight, stimulate change and create new connections while being a witness and support throughout their journey.
My specialties include Anxiety, Functional Depression, Trauma, Personal Growth & Life Changes. I have experience working with those who struggle with (but not limited to): various mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety & post traumatic stress, sexual violence, trauma, abuse, coping with life stressors, grief & loss, and relationship issues.
I have worked with individuals, families and couples, professionally and voluntarily, in providing various modalities of therapy facilitated on a local and international level. The variety of techniques I provide are as follows: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Play Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Art Therapy, Faith-based Spirituality, Motivational Interviewing and the Gottman Level I method all which are directed by the needs and goals established by the client.

Onessa has truly been an amazing resource to help me navigate hard life situations. I appreciate that she is also a black woman so there’s a level of understanding that is without explanation. I feel safe to be vulnerable and myself with her. I am extremely grateful for this resource and platform.

Listens without judgement. Has a uniquely calm presence & approach. Professional 100% but I don't feel I'm being analyzed. Doesn't invalidate feelings yet respectfully responds & provides feedback so as to prompt introspection & perspective consideration. Helps me pull back the layers to explore my whys & their possible origins. Suggests practical action items to make positive emotional & mental health progress. Onesaa is very skilled & patient. Would absolutely work with again.

Onessa is a very supportive therapist, she is a great listener and she offers different views on situations which help to put things into perspective. During every session she offered me some new and creative resources that might be helpful for me. She is very respectful and creates a very safe environment so it was very easy for me to build trust towards her. She kept track of my progress and helped me to see and appreciate my achievments. I am very grateful for what she did for me.

Ive been working with Onessa for a little over a year now, and she’s simply marvelous. I was pretty nervous about starting therapy, and while Onessa was just the second or third person I’d spoken to, I knew right away she’d be The One. So easy to talk to, patient, pushes the boundaries ever so gently at your pace, all while keeping things fun. Still have lots of things to work on but looking forward to doing it with Onessa!

Onessa is an absolutely amazing specialist who helped me through a very rough patch in my life (the roughest I ever had). Not only was I able to get through it and feel better with her help, I also got some very useful thoughts and insights that will stay with me for a long time if not forever. Which is invaluable when you work with a therapist, as I see it.
I come from a different culture and English is not my native language, but I always felt seen and heard by Onessa.
If I ever need therapy again, I would love to keep working with her!

I do value professionalism, but perhaps even more when it's backed up with a feeling the therapist you're talking to genuinely care and actively listens in a way that makes you feel they got your best interest in mind. Onessa ticks all thease boxes and many more. Highly recommend her to anyone that feels the same.
