Dr. Nwabu Phendulu, DM, LCPC

Just as a pearl is formed through the oyster’s response to irritation, your wounds contain the seeds of your transformation. At Nwabu Healing Services, we honor your pain as a doorway to growth rather than something to be erased or fixed. At the same time, we recognize that not all healing must be painful. Healing can also be found in joy, peace, laughter, connection, and moments of ease. In our work together, we create space for both release and renewal, depth and delight. You are the expert of your own life. I walk beside you as a reflective witness—holding safe, compassionate space while supporting you to feel, explore, and integrate your experiences as you move toward healing and self-discovery. PHILOSOPHY OF HEALING At Nwabu Healing Services, our philosophy of healing is rooted in the belief that healing is an embodied, multidimensional, and deeply personal journey. We view healing not as “fixing what is broken,” but as a process of remembering your wholeness, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and restoring balance within your mind, body, and spirit. We honor the truth that pain, trauma, and adversity can be powerful catalysts for growth, but we also reject the notion that healing must always be difficult, heavy, or painful. While some healing requires deep reflection, grief, and release, other forms of healing emerge through joy, pleasure, peace, and ease. Laughter, creativity, rest, connection, and play are all sacred medicines that can soften the nervous system, open the heart, and support emotional integration. Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and spiritually attuned. We recognize that your healing is shaped by your family, community, culture, ancestry, and lived experiences. We work collaboratively with you to cultivate awareness, release emotional blockages, and nurture the parts of you that are resilient, creative, and alive. Ultimately, we believe that healing is not a destination but a continuous unfolding—a return to yourself, your power, and your capacity to live fully, authentically, and with joy.
