Chizi Igwe, Psy.D.

I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves, and that my role as the therapist is to collaborate with each individual to create a unique therapeutic experience that facilitates intentional growth and healing. My approach to therapy centers the client and their goals, while also considering the impact of their cultural background, family dynamics, life experiences, and experiences within the context of societal systems. Throughout the course of therapy, I might utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches based on the client’s interests and what would be appropriate at the time. This could include talk therapy, art therapy, play therapy, mindfulness exercises, or psychoeducational worksheets and materials. Whatever each person feels would be the most helpful for them.

 

I work with all students and my therapy practices include a special interest in Multicultural Counseling, Social Justice, Acculturation Issues, Identity development and Behavior Modification.
