Getting to know Oumou Wague

Hi there, I'm Oumou! Welcome! My name is Oumou Wague, and I’m a licensed mental health counselor with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher University. My approach to therapy is grounded in a non-judgmental, solution-focused, and trauma-informed framework. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered. By focusing on solutions, I help individuals identify their strengths and work toward practical strategies for overcoming challenges. My trauma-informed approach recognizes the impact of past experiences on mental health and ensures that every interaction is compassionate, validating, and respectful of each person’s unique journey. My approach My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered, tailored to meet each client's unique needs. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental, empathetic space where clients feel heard and empowered. Drawing from a variety of evidence-based approaches, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past experiences, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster psychological flexibility, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to improve relationships and communication. This holistic approach promotes healing, growth, and practical strategies for lasting change. My focus I typically work with individuals in early adulthood, adulthood, and older adulthood, providing support for a wide range of concerns. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, grief, trauma, self-exploration, and growth, as well as relationship difficulties. My goal is to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and address any and all concerns, with the aim of promoting healing, growth, and improved well-being.
