My Approach to Therapy

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.
