Ikenna Lughna, LGPC

My experience as a clinical intern for Playful Therapy Connections allowed me to work with neurodivergent kids, teens, adults, parents, and families. I developed my skills in providing client-centered therapy as well as modeling and educating about recognizing, setting, and respecting boundaries. You are the expert of your life. I want you to gain confidence in recognizing your needs and advocating for them. We often don’t listen to our needs because we’re taught to ignore them or push them away because that would make us “too needy" or “too much”. Then there’s the slippery slope of ignoring needs to the point of burnout. I’m here to tell you that you are not too much or too needy. And I hope that by working together, you will also fully believe that as well. My therapy space is a place for you to explore and celebrate parts you may have hidden due to fear of being judged or criticized. Trust doesn’t happen overnight, so we will let those hiding parts peak their heads out when we’ve built a strong therapeutic relationship!
