Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Newark, DE covered by Aetna

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!

Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I am Dr. Ete Kwegang, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, patient-centered care for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. Whether you're navigating a new challenge or managing a long-term condition, my goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and hopeful every step of the way.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy where you feel heard, respected, and involved in your treatment decisions. My goal is not only to treat symptoms but to help you build lasting wellness.

While providing care to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, if faith is important to you, I am happy to incorporate Christian values into your care when requested. Together, we'll work to improve your mental health, build resilience, and help you live a more fulfilling life.

I am highly experienced counselor with 24 years of experience. My primary goal is to help clients regain mental wellness and stability through a comprehensive, personalized approach. While I maintains a robust general practice, my niche expertise lies in Integrated Nutrition for Mental Wellness, offering highly specialized modalities to a diverse clientele. The overarching mission is to help clients regain mental stability through a comprehensive, personalized approach.

I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.

My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.

I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter, and that therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Life has taught me so much. After the school of hard knocks I decided to go to a real college and found that I was not only bright but I had a real talent for helping people. I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology specializing in neuropsychological assessments. I was lucky enough to complete a residency at the A. I Dupont Children's hospital. I have also worked with crises units, residential teen facilities, developmental clinics and the division of prevention and behavioral health through the state. I opened my own private practice in January 1999 where i specialized in therapy for children, teens and adults. Now after retiring with 20 years from the state, I am more relaxed and less pressured. I take my time with people, listen to their needs and work with them to help find solutions.
