Meet Dr. Amaka Obi

I'm Dr. Amaka Obi — a trauma-informed psychotherapist helping high-functioning women heal, trust themselves, and reclaim emotional peace.

With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in creating a culturally responsive therapeutic environment where women of color can feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of how cultural identity shapes our experiences.

As a first-generation Nigerian-American, I understand the unique challenges that come with navigating multiple cultural identities while managing career demands, relationships, and personal growth.

Dr. Obi helped me feel understood and safe for the first time. After years of therapy with practitioners who couldn't relate to my experiences as a Black woman in corporate America, I finally found someone who truly gets it. Her approach is gentle yet effective, and I've made more progress in 6 months than I did in years of previous therapy.

The EMDR work I've done with Dr. Amaka has been transformative. I was skeptical at first about virtual therapy, especially for trauma work, but her expertise made me feel completely at ease. She created a space where I could process childhood trauma without feeling overwhelmed. I'm now able to set boundaries and prioritize my wellbeing in ways I never thought possible.
