Brela Akers, LSW
Hi, I’m Brela! I have a Master’s in Social Work and a heart for walking alongside people as they work through life’s challenges. Over the years, I’ve supported youth, families, and women in finding strength, healing, and confidence in themselves. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe therapy isn’t just about “fixing problems” but about learning more about yourself, building healthy coping skills, and growing in ways that bring peace and balance to your life.
Working with me feels like having a supportive guide who’s in your corner. I’m down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and I keep things practical, you’ll leave sessions with tools you can actually use in your daily life. I believe therapy should be a space where you don’t have to pretend or hold back. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on, set goals that feel right for you, and take steps at your own pace. My role is to encourage you, challenge you when needed, and remind you that you’re not walking this journey alone.
I enjoy working with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and big life changes. I also work with those struggling with self-esteem, relationships, or simply feeling “stuck.” My ideal client doesn’t have to have it all figured out—they just need to be open to showing up, being honest, and trying small steps toward growth. If you’re ready to feel supported and start moving forward, I’d love to work with you.
Our Approach
Reclaim.
Reclaiming is the choice to take back the internal power that has been misplaced, forgotten, or unrealized. It is the process of identifying the areas in your life that have drained you of your greatest power and deciding to take that power back. It is an internal growth that produces external change. It is realigning your life in a way that celebrates all of you and maintains this returned power.
Redefine.
Redefining is the process of reclaiming ownership of ones’ life, it is challenging present circumstances in an effort to obtain a life worth living. It is deciding to reframe limiting beliefs, doubt, and fear in an effort to maximize your greatest potential. It is making the choice to give yourself freedom as you reorganize life to fit your goals, dreams, and passions.
Restore.
Restoring is the process utilizing one’s reclaimed power to redefine the present circumstances. It is resting and residing in one’s own power to live as the most authentic and unapologetic self. It is realigning your life experience to celebrate all that you are and being able to live in that celebration. It is restructuring life to be all that you desire it to be.
