Asuqwo Ekene

Asuqwo Ekene is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas with eight years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with adolescents, adults, and the elderly, supporting people through grief and loss, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, anger management, pain management, and other challenges that arise across the lifespan.

She creates an empathetic, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel accepted and safe. Her work draws on person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a strengths-based approach, applied with cultural competence to address each person’s unique needs.

During the initial session Asuqwo begins by exploring what brought the client to therapy and clarifying what the client hopes to gain from their time together so that subsequent sessions can be tailored to those goals. She also brings experience addressing relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
