Akua Agyen, ASW

Welcome, my name is Akua (she/they).

Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, creative, embodied, and slow. Together, we will consider how to seek, hear, and honor your own voice and body. During our sessions, I will actively listen with compassion and share skills and resources that assist you to feel rooted in yourself, in your body, in your communities, and in your ancestral connections.

I offer therapy to people who desire to understand, honor, and deepen their own sense of self as they move through life transitions, grief, present and past trauma, and the world’s changes. I offer therapy to people who are looking for, honoring, and protecting their communities in a changing world. If you are person of color, queer, poly, have a history of migration, have survived violence, and/or are on a birthing or family planning journey – your experiences, questions, and dreams are so welcome here. I work hard to center the needs of queer and trans Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color.

My practice is informed by my professional experiences and political commitments to trauma-focused healing, Black feminist theory, and queer abolitionist futures. For the past decade, I have prepared to be your therapist through my community work as a social worker, sexual and reproductive health researcher and advocate, doula, and artist.

I am local to several cities across the world with roots in Ghana and the U.S. I find my own healing through therapy, making ice cream, weaving, and taking long walks with my dog.
