I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.
Taking your first step toward healing is often the most challenging and here you are! I have over 25 years of experience providing therapeutic services to individuals of all ages. I earned a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College in Springfield, MA in 2004 and I became licensed in the state of New Jersey in 2008 as a Licensed Professional Counselor. My current focus is to provide therapy to individuals ages 5 to 65+ and over.

Come and start your journey towards a better life. I will help you develop resilience and strengthen your inner core. I will work with you to develop problem solving skills, and learn effective communication skills. I am an empathetic listener with over 10 years of experience in this field.
Akosua C. Ababio MSN, APRN,PMHNP-BC.FNP-C is a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner.

Reconnecting with your own inner voice is one of the most meaningful things therapy
can offer. My role is to be a compassionate witness and guide as you build awareness,
develop meaningful insight, and create a life that feels authentic and aligned with your
values. Throughout our lives, our own beliefs, needs, and intuition can become
overshadowed by the expectations and experiences of others. This can leave us feeling
disconnected from ourselves and contribute to feelings of anxiety, sadness, confusion,
or isolation. I am passionate about helping individuals rediscover their strengths, build
self-trust, and develop the confidence to move forward with greater clarity and self-
compassion. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low
self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, parenting challenges, divorce, and family or
relationship concerns. I incorporate a holistic, mind-body approach into my work by
exploring the connection between emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. I
believe our bodies often communicate experiences that words alone cannot fully
express, and developing awareness of these signals can be an important part of healing
and growth. I am proud to provide an affirming, inclusive space for individuals from diverse and
marginalized communities. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
A big reason why I became a therapist is reflected in the quote: "Your vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world's deep need" (Frederick Buechner). I find tremendous joy in helping clients move toward healthier and more meaningful lives.
With over a decade of dedicated experience in the field of substance use disorders (SUD), I have spent the majority of my career specializing in co-occurring mental health and addiction treatment. I am a dual-licensed professional in the state of New Jersey, holding credentials as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT). This unique background allows me to provide comprehensive, integrated care that addresses the complex intersection of substance use and relational or systemic mental health challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fair Lawn
Finding therapists in Fair Lawn starts with knowing what kind of support and care may fit your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Fair Lawn is a smaller city, so local in-person openings may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can widen your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates their approach.
Therapy in Fair Lawn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and you can confirm insurance coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
