Phyllis Gyamfi, LCMFT

Hello! My name is Phyllis and I'm a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family

Therapist. I provide counseling for couples and adults. I help clients improve

communication, trust, and security in their relationships. I work collaboratively

with my clients and believe they are the expert on their lives. I focus on their

strengths and help build upon them to overcome difficulties. I help clients

identify what is already working well and we build skills that they can

implement and use in their everyday lives. 


I specialize in couples therapy and work with clients on communication,

conflict management, infidelity, premarital counseling, discernment

counseling, divorce counseling, sex and intimacy issues and more. When

working with couples, I often use Gottman Couples Therapy to provide tools to

improve communication and increase intimacy, respect, and affection in the

relationship. I also utilize Emotion Focused Therapy to help couples identify

negative cycles and replace them with behaviors that can help the relationship

thrive.


I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, attachment

concerns, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions and more. I often use Solution

Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help clients identify their

strengths. These strengths are used to rewrite the client's life story to reflect a

more accurate view of themselves, their capabilities, and their purpose.


Overall, I offer clients a safe environment where they can be open, vulnerable,

and challenged as they work to achieve their goals. I bring my expertise to the

table while the client brings their experience, and together we work towards

lasting change.
