Hi, I’m Chigozie “Blessing” Amaefuna, and I know how heavy life can feel when depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other challenges seem to take over your day-to-day. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or hopeless—unsure if things can ever change. My role is to help you rediscover hope, calm, and strength in a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard.
Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected. My work focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, clarity, and independence in both their emotional and practical lives. I blend therapy with real-world strategies so clients can create meaningful, lasting change.
Please note: My practice is currently focused on individual therapy, and I am not accepting new couples at this time.
I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment issues, family, and spiritually and religiously-based trauma.
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.
Over twenty years of experience providing mental health services to a wide range of clients - finding the unique nature of each individual.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Newark
Finding OCD therapists in Newark starts with looking for training that matches obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and related stress. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their profiles, and read how they describe their approach to care.
Newark is a smaller city, so the number of local OCD therapists may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Delaware while still letting you choose care that fits your schedule. Beyond location, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Provider bios can help you see the difference between therapists who mention OCD as an area of familiarity and therapists who describe specific ERP training or OCD-focused experience.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse OCD therapists in Newark, review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
