Meet the therapist
Amma Boateng, MEd, LPC, NCC
I believe healing begins when we stop asking, "How do I get back to who I was?" and begin asking, "Who am I becoming now?"
Healing isn't about pretending the hardest chapter of your life never happened. It is about finding your footing again after life has changed you.
I work with women recovering after divorce, betrayal, relational trauma, grief, burnout, and other life transitions that leave them questioning who they are or how to move forward. My goal is to help you understand what you've survived, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that is no longer defined by survival.
My approach integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic interventions, and evidence-based psychotherapy to support lasting healing. Together, we'll regulate your nervous system, restore self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and help you move toward a life that feels grounded, intentional, and fully your own.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Louisiana, a National Certified Counselor, and an EMDR-trained therapist with advanced training in IFS or Internal Family Systems. I earned my Master of Education in Counseling from the University of North Texas and my bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Stephen F. Austin State University. I maintain membership in the American Counseling Association, the Louisiana Counselors Association, and the EMDR International Association.

My Approach
Healing doesn't end when the crisis is over. For many women, that's where the real work begins. Once the immediate storm has passed, you're often left asking questions no one prepared you for: Who am I now? Can I trust myself again? How do I move forward without carrying the weight of what happened?
My work integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic approaches, and relational therapy to help you process painful experiences, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way.
This is intentional, depth-oriented therapy designed not only to help you heal from what happened, but to help you build a life that reflects who you are becoming.
