Aba Aikins-Adjaye

Therapist

Virtual • California


I earned my master's in social work from California State University, Bakersfield, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain that relationship or family conflict can put on daily life. Many of the people I work with are stuck in loops of overthinking, self-criticism, or reactive anger — I help you name what's actually driving that pattern so it stops running the show.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Rancho Mirage, CA


I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.

I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.
