About Me
Hi, I'm Ofo Penney-Laryea and I'm so glad you're here.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I'm passionate about working with women, couples and families in therapy. I obtained my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mercy University in New York - USA, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology with Psychology from the University of Ghana, Legon in Accra - Ghana. I'm the author of "Joseph - Life Is a Paradox: A Story of Betrayal, Forgiveness and Fulfillment. Lessons From a Therapist's Perspective".
In addition to my professional qualification and experience, I have been married for 32 years and have 3 young-adult children with whom I have a lovely relationship. I'm also a daughter and sister among many other family relationships, and I know what it takes to have meaningful relationships.
My training and experience of over 7 years include working with emotionally challenged teenagers and their families at St. Christophers Inc. in Dobbs Ferry, New York. I also worked with families, couples and Individuals at Stella Maris Foundation in Kingston, Jamaica. I have helped couples and families to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their bonds and relationships. My work with women who have emotional challenges and self-esteem issues due to abusive family or love relationships has been very successful. These ladies have overcome their emotional challenges and have been empowered, leading to high self-esteem and worth. I'm dedicated to supporting women, couples and families on their journey towards healthier relationships and emotional well-being. With the experience I have gained working with clients of diverse social and national backgrounds in the United States of America, Armenia, Ghana and the Caribbean, I'm confident that I would be able to help you overcome the emotional and relationship challenges you're going through and thrive.
My approach to therapy is to make you feel comfortable, listen to your story and with your engagement in the process, equip you with the necessary tools to enable you to achieve your goals in therapy. It would be an honor to work with you if you should decide that I'm the right fit for you. So please don't hesitate and contact me for a free 30 minutes consultation.
