Hello, I am Chinna Iheakaram, and I have a strong passion for empowering others and instilling hope to help people cope with their situations. I am dedicated to helping my clients discover more about themselves, achieve their goals and live meaningful and purposeful lives.
With over 20 years of experience in behavioral health, health care and community health, I leverage my background to offer strategic and meaningful insights using evidence-based approaches such as CBT and Motivational Interviewing.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work, New York, with a specialization in Advanced Clinical Practice in Healthcare and Mental Health. I am also a graduate of St John’s University, New York, with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.
I am well-known for my compassionate, realistic and strengths-based approach to care. I listen to clients, build confidence, communicate to gain perspective and insight, and empathize with their needs. My enthusiasm and down to earth communication have enabled me to create solid and long-standing professional relationships with clients built on trust and respect.
I look forward to working with you.
