Meet DeLandria Ankrah, LCPC
Founder of Soul Work Therapy + Wellness
DeLandria Ankrah is a licensed clinical professional counselor, business psychologist, and the founder of Soul Work Therapy + Wellness, a healing space devoted to helping high-achieving Black women and BIPOC individuals reconnect with themselves, reclaim their worth, and cultivate deeper emotional wellness.
With advanced training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and identity-focused healing, DeLandria brings an integrative approach to therapy that honors the layered experiences of race, gender, and cultural identity. Her work centers on helping clients navigate life transitions, self-worth issues, relationship challenges, imposter syndrome, and trauma stemming from childhood or systemic oppression.
​
DeLandria is passionate about guiding clients through the “soul work”; the inner healing required to live with more clarity, confidence, and connection. Her approach helps clients feel more grounded in their identity, build healthier boundaries, cultivate self-trust, and embrace rest as resistance.
​
With over a decade of experience across clinical, school, and community settings, DeLandria provides a warm, affirming, and insight-driven space for individual and group therapy. Her goal is simple: to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to do the deeper work that leads to lasting transformation.
