Akilah Bakeer-Pullum

Treatment with me is tailored to each client and draws on evidence-based practice models, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In Los Angeles, California, I practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my name is Akilah Bakeer-Pullum. CBT looks at thoughts that are negative or inaccurate, and it can also improve behaviors and feelings.

I work with adults who feel anxious or sad. They want change, yet they do not have the tools or the capacity to carry it through.

Sessions are warm, supportive, accepting, relaxed, friendly and non-judgmental. The first session builds rapport and sets treatment goals, and later sessions are problem-solving sessions focused on life stressors and steps that improve the situation. I tell clients I will challenge them, and they can set their own pace while I help them keep moving forward.
