More about Efrem

- LCSW
As an African American, I understand how important it is to have proper representation in the mental health field. Being able to have access to providers who look like you or share your cultural background can make all the difference in one's motivation for change. Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or cultural issues, my flexible, empathetic therapeutic style allows me to be able to meet the client wherever they are in life. The ability to adapt effectively is key. Sometimes we just need some assistance getting back on track and that's where I come in. As a social worker, I have served in various capacities in the mental health field for over 15 years. During this time, I've treated individuals and families from all walks of life.
I'm a very direct clinician. I like to serve the role of your accountability partner, where we cultivate a safe, supportive judgment-free zone together. When we are working, you are in the driver's seat and as your co-captain, I will be happy to help you navigate reasonable pathways to insight, growth, and positive change. But the steering wheel is always in your hands. If you're ready, then let's get going!
