Ella Ofori, LMFT, MPH
I work from a core belief that everyone has within themselves what they need for healing. I also believe that working in community helps to bring out and recall collective knowledge and understanding of what health, illness, and recovery are.
I work collaboratively with you in supporting your process of understanding and integrating your life experiences, using a relational, strength-based, culturally attuned, community-centered process.
Clinical Approach
I utilize relational, narrative, and structural family therapy methodologies. My practice is also strongly informed by black psychology, liberation psychology, and restorative justice practices. I have training in transpersonal and medical hypnotherapy. I utilize my experience in community health education and program development and management.
