Hi! I have experience working in various settings with a variety of populations, including residential addiction treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and traditional outpatient therapy. I am certified in Sandplay Therapy.

Hi there! My name is Edward Acquah. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with years of experience treating various psychiatric mental health disorders across the lifespan.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PsA, I approach my practice with a person-centered and holistic perspective, guiding clients to identify and pursue solutions in every facet of their lives. My commitment is to create a space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions freely, fostering a collaborative journey towards growth and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have dedicated over 25 years to the counseling and education fields, working extensively with children and their families. For the past 18 years, I have served as a school social worker, and for 12 of those years, I have also been the supervisor of the special education department of my school district. My experience has given me deep insight into the challenges children and families face, allowing me to provide compassionate and effective support.

I provide skilled and compassionate mental health care. I implement different psychotherapeutic techniques, according to your specific needs.

This includes: Psychotherapy, Jungian and Freudian Psychoanalysis, Trauma Informed, Polyvegal Theory treatment (which includes our brain and body connection), Somatic Therapy (which also connects body, mind and breath or spirit), Grief Therapy, LGBTQIA+ informed support if appropriate to you, Mindfulness Therapy based on my life long experience as a yoga practitioner and Certified Yoga Teacher, Narrative therapy for those who like to write, Art therapy to integrate images to the healing process, Attachment Therapy (which includes early childhood relationships to caregivers and how that has influenced you), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (which focuses on transforming your negative thoughts to learn new behaviors and ways of thinkings which are more helpful to your wellbeing).

I implement the above mentioned techniques and others as are appropriate and acceptable to your individual emotional, physical and mental health needs.

I provide mental health care for people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures. This includes seniors, adolescents, and children. My profound and extensive education, and diverse professional experiences empower me to help a wide range of people and needs.

I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Many people come to psychiatry after feeling frustrated by treatments that haven't worked or appointments that felt rushed. I became a psychiatric provider because I enjoy helping people understand their symptoms and find treatment approaches that genuinely fit their needs. Before becoming a PMHNP, I received a B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Tufts University and worked in psychiatric research focused on bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression. Today, I provide collaborative, individualized care to patients experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and more.

I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or unsure whether medication is the right next step. My role is to help you gain clarity, emotional stability, and confidence in your treatment plan.

I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly share their experiences, goals, and challenges. I strive to meet clients where they are while helping them build insight, confidence, resilience, and lasting wellness.
