Meet Dr. Yaa
Dr. Yaa Bempa-Boateng
Ph.D; Licensed Masters Social Worker (LMSW), Therapist, Reiki Master
Warm greetings, my name is Dr. Yaa. I am a licensed clinical social worker, Reiki Master, and holistic practitioner with a Master’s in Social Work and a PhD in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. My heart and work are devoted to supporting emotional, relational, and nervous-system healing in a way that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I have had the privilege of serving diverse communities, particularly immigrants, women, and children, across nonprofit, county, state, and federal settings. These experiences have deepened my understanding of cultural identity, life transitions, trauma, and the profound resilience that lives within each individual.
My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and deeply relational. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic practices with energy-based healing, including Reiki, to support regulation, inner safety, and reconnection. I believe healing unfolds most naturally when people feel supported, seen, and held within a compassionate and grounded space.
At the core of my work is the belief that each person already carries the inner wisdom and capacity needed for healing and growth. Sometimes those resources simply need a safe environment to emerge; other times, they need steady guidance and presence along the way.
Wherever you find yourself on your journey, I would be honored to walk beside you—offering warmth, attunement, and a sanctuary where your healing can unfold at your own pace.
I provide:
