“Emmanuel is a fantastic and helpful therapist. He provides useful, practical solutions that help to positively change my thinking, while at the same time taking the time to dig down and question the roots and the deeper meaning of my thinking patterns in a way that improves my self-knowledge and strengthens my sense of identity while providing opportunities to reroute depressive/unhealthy thoughts. His method is helpful, and his manner is warm and inviting, making therapy feel less daunting and scary. I would recommend him to anyone seeking mental health help.”

Getting to know Dr. Emmanuel Nwala

My name is Emmanuel Nwala. I am a licensed Professional Licensed Counselor and the owner of Reviving Therapy & Consulting LLC. I come from a multicultural background. I obtained my first counseling license in 2016. I earned my PhD in Psychology from Capella University and my Master of Science degree in Counseling from Campbellsville University. I have a passion for helping people and corporations reach their self-actualization, whatever that may be for each person or organization. I enter a counseling and consulting relationship with an open mind, enthusiasm, and hope for healing for whomever I am working with. I look forward to working together with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I accept BCBS for MN, SD, IA TX. For of other insurances, please see insurance section. I am eclectic in my approach to counseling. This means that I use different counseling modalities/ techniques in my counseling practice because one approach may not fit every person. I am trained at graduate education level in the use of different counseling techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy etc.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I am very person-centered and goal oriented and exhibit genuine interest on the person, family or organization I am working with. This means that I see the person I am working with as a person different from the presenting problems. I work with the person to establish goals for therapy and focus a lot of attention to helping the person reach their goals for therapy. You can expect me to use active and reflective listening in each session to ensure you feel heard. You can expect me to focus on your goals for therapy each session. You can expect that I will affirm you each session
