Constance Akonumbo
Greetings My name is Constance. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been in the helping profession for 7 years now and, I am pleased to say I Really Love this work. I thank GOD for this opportunity, it has been both personally and professionally rewarding! Over the years, I have taken a nontraditional career path, from the field of Education, precisely teaching, Nursing, and now Counseling. Equipped with these skills, knowledge and clinical expertise, I feel confident and prepared to help others in developing and achieving their life-long wellness. My approach to counseling is warm and interactive. I am a firm believer in human dignity. Therefore, I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership, requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work. I also believe that the changes we need in our lives will only come when we make a conscious decision to do so. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Existential Therapy, Reality Therapy, Gestalt, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Person Centered Therapy. Above all, I strongly believe in Devine Healing Power. Finally I must say this; it takes courage to be able to identify a problem or problems in your life, and taking steps to seek assistance to move you forward to be the person you want to be. I believe you have the abilities and strengths in you, and all you need is coaching and guidance to help you harness them together to achieve life goals. It is an honor to be considered a potential partner on your journey. God Bless.

Joel Harris
I could have generated an AI description of myself, but it seemed so phony and disingenuous. I prefer to be real, genuine, and down to earth with people. I've been providing counseling for fifteen years in that time authenticity is essential. People want to know that they are talking to a real person, and that they can be real with that person. In truth, I see counseling as my ministry, my purpose. I find people fascinating and love to see their gifts shine through. For many, the journey has taken them down some dark and lonely roads. Maybe they feel like they are adrift at sea and don't know how to regain a solid footing. I love to be that person who comes alongside and helps them on this journey. Then their gifts, their sense of purpose, or the challenges that they are facing seem clearer or more manageable. I love working with people from all ages, but have a particular passion for those in the transitional ages of life (teenager/young adult). I feel comfortable addressing a number of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship issues. I come from a Christian perspective and love working with people interested in incorporating or addressing elements of faith, but truthfully, I work work with anyone looking for a compassionate, listening ear. I look forward to meeting you!
