Hello, my name is Ama Owusuaa, and I believe therapy is a collaborative effort. My approach is client-centered, based on the belief that every individual brings a unique outlook on personal, family and cultural experiences. In our sessions, we will explore different areas in your life that you feel may be causing you distress. We will look at the way your family/cultural history has impacted your values, behaviors, and relationships in a safe environment. My hope is that together, you will gain insight that will promote awareness and lead to a positive change

Overthinking, constant worry, low self-esteem or lots of self-doubt, maybe an intense fear of something in the world like germs or social interactions- I help adults with all of these issues. I'm a licensed mental health counselor and I specialize in treating individuals from age 18-99 dealing with anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessions/compulsions, and trauma. I do this using an IFS-informed lens and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) to guide clients to meaningful change.

At Real Talk Therapy we believe in helping people to become the best version of themselves! Real Talk Therapy's mission is to motivate, encourage, and challenge our client’s to reach their highest potential. We see teens (ages 12+) and adults dealing with adjustment and transitional issues such as stress, low self-esteem and low confidence, depression, anxiety, work-life balance, time management, relationship and familial conflicts.

Anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma are all issues that keep a person from living the life that they truly want to live; or keep a couple from connecting on a level that maybe they use to; or keep a family from relating and understanding each other. Whatever issues arise, I pride myself in helping people navigate through these issues which can help them create and step into the life they desire. ​

As a clinician, I am passionate about working with children ages 2-11 through the power of child-centered play therapy to promote healing, strengthen development, and enhance family functioning. I also enjoy working with early adolescents ages 11-14 from a person-centered and solution focused approach to navigate social and emotional disruptions that coincide with development.

I bring over a decade of experience to my practice, where I work with a wide range of struggles. I bring special expertise to self-image/self-esteem issues, trauma, and grief. As a holistic practitioner, I don’t limit my focus to treating symptoms or replacing behaviors. I work with body, spirit, heart, and gut, offering a space where you can step into a transformed relationship with yourself. I go underneath strategies and tools to help you develop inner resources, listen to your body and nervous system, let go of what no longer serves you, and bring new energy and clarity to your most important connections.

Life can be full of tough seasons. Perhaps you aren't where you envisioned yourself at this stage, are struggling with self-confidence, or aren't as happy as you feel you should be. As a therapist, my greatest passion is providing a fresh perspective and working with clients as they learn to navigate these challenges and build resilience. I will support you through life transitions and help you feel less stuck and stressed out.

​My training and education makes me a good fit for individuals, families, and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family conflict, trauma, grief, life stressors and parenting. Many of my clients tend to be women aged 29 to 55 seeking change in their lives - however, I also enjoy working with men, particularly if they have never done therapy before.

Is self doubt holding you back from achieving the things you desire? If so, you are not alone. This is a common reason people seek therapy. I strive to support individuals in enhancing their self esteem to improve their quality of life. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, unresolved issues from the past and other life stressors such as career challenges, peer and family related concerns and life transitions. I believe that you have the answers within. My goal is to help guide you in discovering what may be keeping you “stuck.” We will work together to achieve self awareness, establish peace and confidence within.

Have you experienced a trauma that you are ready to process in a safe space? Struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem? Are you ready to take back your power and move to a healthier version of yourself.

Whether it is anxiety, depression, grief/loss, burnout, relationships, family conflict, parenting issues, or managing emotions, you are desiring something different, and better. Because life is a journey, and not a destination, how YOU define your past, identify YOUR present, and see YOUR future is important. Additionally, the tools you use to navigate your experiences aid in the outcomes of your life. Peace is possible. Wellness is possible. Life will not stop happening in the journey; however, you get to decide and define what wellness is for you.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you, process past experiences, shed light on patterns you are engaging in, and provide you with tools to improve your mental health. I aim to foster growth, introspection, and self-acceptance. I enjoy working with a range of ages and concerns, but I am particularly passionate about working with adults suffering from anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and self-esteem issues
