Getting to know Akemi McGoogan
Welcome to my practice! I'm Akemi, a licensed clinician with over 18 years of experience dedicated to guiding individuals—especially women, and those seeking holistic healing—towards profound transformation. My journey as a life coach, author, researcher, and Christian has shaped a unique therapeutic approach that integrates spiritual principles with evidence-based methods. I believe in addressing the mind, body, and spirit in therapy, aiming to uncover and address root causes of distress. When you choose to work with me, expect a warm, welcoming environment where your experiences are respected and valued. I approach each client with compassion and authenticity, dedicated to helping you heal wounds, restore balance, and find renewed hope and purpose. If you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, or substance abuse disorders, I am happy to refer you to one of my trusted colleagues who specialize in these areas. Let's begin this journey together—your path to healing starts here.
