Compassionate care for children, women, and individuals navigating trauma, ADHD, and life’s challenges

Amaka Bari-Nwizug, LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor

Amaka Bari-Nwizug, M.A., LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor | Trauma • Children • ADHD • Women’s Mental Health

Accepting Clients in Texas | Virtual Sessions Available

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how to help yourself or your child no matter what you try? You may be dealing with anxiety, trauma, ADHD challenges, or emotional stress that feels too heavy to carry alone. Maybe your child is struggling with behavior, focus, or emotions. Maybe as a woman, you feel drained, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns you cannot break.

You do not have to figure this out by yourself.

🌿 About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a doctoral student in Special Education Leadership, with advanced training in working with trauma, children, ADHD, and women’s mental health. My doctoral training gives me advanced insight into children’s learning, behavior, and emotional development.

I specialize in helping:

  • Children who struggle with behavior, emotions, or ADHD
  • Women dealing with stress, trauma, anxiety, or life transitions
  • Individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained

My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I meet you where you are and help you move forward step by step.

🧠 What I Help With
  • Trauma and emotional wounds (past or recent)
  • ADHD (focus, impulsivity, behavior challenges)
  • Anxiety, stress, and overthinking
  • Depression and low mood
  • Emotional regulation (for both children and adults)
  • Parenting challenges and support
  • Women’s mental health and life transitions
  • Self-esteem and confidence
  • High emotional distress, including self‑harm behaviors, trauma, and severe anxiety
🎯 What You Will Gain From Therapy
  • Learn how to manage overwhelming emotions
  • Develop practical tools to reduce anxiety and stress
  • Improve focus and behavior (especially for ADHD)
  • Build confidence and emotional strength
  • Understand patterns and break unhealthy cycles
  • Feel more in control of your life
My Approach

I use proven, practical approaches that help you feel better, think more clearly, and respond to life with confidence:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – change negative thinking patterns
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive behaviors
  • Trauma‑Informed Care – safe healing from past experiences
  • Strength‑Based Therapy – build on your strengths and resilience
  • Solution‑Focused Therapy – create practical, goal‑oriented change
  • Mindfulness Techniques – stay grounded and reduce stress

Sessions are structured, supportive, and practical, giving you real tools you can use in your daily life. For children, I use developmentally appropriate strategies to help them express emotions and build healthy behaviors.

🌸 For Parents

If your child is struggling, you may feel confused, frustrated, or worried. I help parents:

  • Understand their child’s behavior
  • Learn effective strategies that actually work
  • Support children with ADHD and emotional challenges
  • Create a more peaceful home environment
🌸 For Women

You may be used to taking care of everyone else while feeling overwhelmed yourself. Therapy is your space to:

  • Be heard without judgment
  • Process stress, trauma, or emotional pain
  • Rebuild confidence and clarity
  • Take back control of your life
🤝 What Sessions Feel Like

Clients often say they feel: Heard, Understood, Supported, Empowered. You will not be rushed or judged. We will work together at your pace.

🎓 Education & Credentials
  • Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) – Texas
  • Doctoral Student in Special Education Leadership
  • Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

I stay current with research and best practices to provide high‑quality, effective care.

🌍 Culturally Aware & Respectful Care

I work with diverse individuals and respect each client’s culture, values, and beliefs. Faith‑based counseling is available if you desire it.
