Is it Confidential, Secure, Trustworthy? Will people know my business? Won’t my psychologist tell? These are the two biggest reasons that scare people away from counseling but, trust and confidentiality are the heart of your counseling relationship.

By law therapists cannot reveal that you are a client to another party without your consent.* *(Unless court ordered) Psychologists would permanently lose their license to practice psychology for violation of the confidentiality law.

Beyond that, we have deep trust issues in the Black community. Sometimes these issues are childhood experiences. Sometimes these issues are due to intergenerational trauma. Some are from recent experiences. These feeling are valid. Dr. Mawiyah Kambon’s therapeutic method begins with African-centered therapy and counseling founded on trust-building. Our goal is to help you feel confident moving forward together knowing your best interest is at the center of your healing plan.

How is in-office counseling different from teletherapy? Which is best for me? Office therapy allows you to leave your usual environment and come to a place where you can “think with a clear head.”

At Onipa Psychological & Consulting Services our office therapy also gives you a full sensory experience with sights, sounds, aromatherapy and other elements that help you relax.

Similarly, Dr. Kambon can work with you to create your own relaxing space. This way you can enjoy a relaxation space whether you are at home, in your office, or you are traveling.
