About Jennifer Akotoh,
Licensed In: Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York
Specialized Training: Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1), Premarital & Couples Counseling, Attachment-Based & Relationship-Focused Interventions, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
LPC, LMHC, LPCC
Growing up, I learned to internalize my pain and carry my struggles on my own. I didn't always know how to ask for help, lean on others, or make space for what I was feeling.
Instead, I often pushed through, distracted myself, and focused on taking care of everyone else. Eventually, I learned that healing requires more than simply getting by, it requires honesty, support, self-awareness, and the courage to face the things we've been avoiding.
I am a first-generation Ghanaian-American Christian woman. My personal experiences and my work with clients have shown me how deeply our relationships, family dynamics, cultural experiences, and beliefs about ourselves can shape the way we move through the world. I am especially passionate about helping people who feel pressured to have it all together learn how to slow down, understand themselves more deeply, break unhealthy patterns, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, life transitions, or a season of uncertainty, I offer a warm, collaborative, and growth-oriented space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Outside of the therapy room, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband, connecting with family and friends, reading, lifting weights, attending church, listening to music, or enjoying a good show.

"My first experience in talk therapy was with Jennifer. I can’t thank her enough for her insight and patience. She was able to help me discover why I repeated certain behaviors and where they stemmed from. I’m grateful to her for facilitating the start of my journey toward self-compassion, love, and knowing myself better. I would absolutely recommend that anyone work with Jennifer!!"
