They say life is full of highs and lows, but lately you have been experiencing more lows. Life transitions, depression, or anxiety have caused a wedge between you and your peace. Activities that used to excite you no longer matter. You are just floating through life with no purpose or clarity; ultimately negatively affecting your self-esteem and confidence. Whenever you try to get on track and build the life you want, life or your inner thoughts seem to take you two steps backwards. You could give up but the fighter in you will not. You want to build on that determination but don’t know where to start? Something has to change.

I work with people like you- determined, stressed, resilient and in need of a safe space to do your inner work. Your goal is to break old patterns, get out of survival mode, and live again! Imagine discovering yourself so deeply that it sets you up for more success in all the areas of life you find important. Together we will work to bridge the gap.

Therapy with me is compassionate, direct, creative, and effective. I provide customized, one-on-one, consistent support to help you with challenges that you are facing and achieve goals that you want to reach. Together we will work to equip you with confidence and helpful life long tools to navigate life. Learn more by visting our website.

Hi my name is Palesa Abenaa Osei-Tutu. I have had the honor over the last nearly 24 years of supporting others through grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and triumphs. There is a bravery in deciding to take that step to speak with someone you don’t know and possibly share your deepest darkest fears, secrets and regrets. The combination of my years of experience, educational background and cultural experience has set me up to be able to be a conduit for change, healing and growth.

My approach is non-judgmental, thoughtful and I work to meet you where you are so that you can lead your own healing. This is why I chose my practice name, “Sit Awhile & Heal” because I believe that healing requires patience, trust, rest and time. So if you are ready, please come and sit awhile with me and let me support you in your healing journey, when you are ready.

Being a Black and African cisgender woman grounds who I am and the space I co-create for individuals, couples, families, and communities. I approach my work through an anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive lens that centers on the needs of my clients by celebrating and validating the experiences and wisdom they bring. My goal is to balance building a trusting relationship while creating space to think through the ways that our society and relationships impact our everyday lives. My training as a social worker, marriage and family therapist, and curriculum developer provide me the path to guide clients through the therapy process.

Even though parts of the therapy process are very uncomfortable and challenging, I believe in creating a comfortable and supportive environment that encourages trust-building and playfulness when appropriate. Creating space in therapy is a passion of mine because of my continued desire to encourage reflection, start with the strengths, and be a thought partner with clients.
