About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with five years of experience in the United States and 13 years of experience in marriage and parenting in Cameroon, Africa, with the Worldwide Marriage Encounter and the Catholic church.
I am accreditated to counseling military and their families—vast experience and knowledge in this field—currently a Military and Family Life Counselor at a military base in South Carolina. I served with the faith-based organization as a parenting coach for 12 years. I served as a Behavioral Health Consultant at Brookland Medical Practice, Cayce, South Carolina, and as a Qualified Mental Health Professional at the South Carolina Department of Corrections. Currently, I am a Military Family and Life Counselor in Columbia, SC, coupled with being an online Clinical Mental Health Counselor.
I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I am currently in the dissertation phase of my Ph.D. in psychology. In a few months, I will graduate.
I work as a Behavioral Health Consultant with Eau Claire Cooperative Health. Before, I worked at a Crisis Stabilization Unit in a penitentiary department. I invite you to read about my education, background, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name above our messages. I generally check messages a few times daily, Mondays to Fridays, and respond as quickly as possible. During the weekend, I might take a bit longer time to respond.
I will appreciate your patience during such times. It takes longer during the weekend because I might be helping other clients or carrying out other duties and responsibilities. My profile's availability is tentative, so I can arrange an appropriate time with my client if requested.
I welcome my client to the counseling session with a smile and encourage them to feel free to tell me their difficulties, problems, or constraints. I empathize with my client, listen to them nonjudgmentally, and give them room to express themselves. When I have children who are below the lawful age, I would like to have their parents present for the first session to permit me to have counseling with their children. I will also explain what will happen in counseling and what they should expect. I like counseling clients from 13 years and above. I encourage clients not to see themselves as the problem or the disorder but as people with difficulties or suffering from an illness. I treat my client with respect, sensitivity to their core beliefs, and empathy for their issues. I also handle relationship issues and other life experience issues.
My core counseling approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I combine this approach with person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and narrative counseling. I mostly used open-ended questions when dialoguing with clients. These questions are tailored based on the client's needs. I have understood that in the helping profession, you have to love the career, and I love my career. The helping profession needs courage and determination from the counselor and the client.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Muma Azeh. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Muma have saved my life and I'll be forever thankful to him for that
Muma is probably one of the best therapist I have had so far.
Muma is a great Therapist. He is knowledgeable and in tuned with his clients. My best interest is a priority to him. He is very understanding and empathetic while presenting the truth. Muma helps his clients discover the root and provides the tools and techniques to bring us to a healthy and positive life.
Muma has been the best therapist I've had. He took his time researching things like no other therapist I've been to. He's fantastic.
Muma is an expert at what he does. Kind, encouraging, precise, and tactical are ways I would describe his approach and my experience with him. My time with him will continue to impact my life long after counseling.
Muma is great!!! Always on time for meetings and checks on me throughout the week. He makes sure to address the issues we are trying to resolve. I highly recommend him!!
Frequently goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Muma has been a great help in identifying the root causes of my problems and giving me solutions in skills in order to help me in my everyday life. I would not be where I am without his guidance.
Changed so much in my life
Amazing therapist with extensive knowledge and cares greatly for his clients.
Mr Azeh is very professional and knowledgeable. He is tentative to your issues and gives logic explanations. He is nonjudgmental and easy to talk to. I highly recommend.
Muma is an excellent therapist I can't recommend him highly enough
very good person to work with.
Muma gets it!
Mr. Azeh is very kind, listens well, and seems to understand my goals. I am very happy with him.
I've only had 2 meeting with Muma, and he's already asked me questions I've never been asked before, even thought I've previously been in therapy. I feel like he looks at me like an individual and is trying to make breatkthroughs in emotions I may have blocked subconsciously. I am thrilled he was recommended to me!
I’m so grateful that I was matched with Mr. Muma!! I feel so free whenever I’m talking to him. His strategies of counseling have been successful thus far. And I would not ask for anybody better!
Thank you Muma.
After a number of false starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Muma sooner! Over a period of 2 years I had seen multiple therapists and psychiatrists to address issues relating to psychosis, depression and my current scenario. With invariably unsatisfying results, I was extremely skeptical about seeing another therapist: more fundamentally I was utterly pessimistic about the possibility of being happy. My skepticism proved unfounded.
Muma really helped me to elucidate and articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of thinking, which proved essential to work with me. He is patient and compassionate. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful.
The process resulted in my feeling much better with only 2 live sessions and number of audio/text messages that I sent.
Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or feeling like therapy is a dead end, I believe you have nothing to lose and plenty gain by seeking out an introductory session with Muma.
Thank you Muma.
Within the first couple of sessions Muma hit the nail on the head with insights that I had never thought of even though I feel I'm relatively in touch with my issues. He challenges me (necessary as I can be challenging) but is kind and encouraging. He keeps in touch all week and that helps me continue to work on myself rather than just ignore the time between sessions.
Muma Azeh was the first recommended counsellor that was suggested to me. I had faith that the Almighty played a part in the recommendation. My situation is complex and Muma is straightforward, practical and encouraging.
Muma Azeh is the only therapist I've ever had that has helped me. He doesn't beat around the bush - if something needs to be said, it gets said. That is honestly such a breath of fresh air. It makes me feel listened to, acknowledged, but also reminds me that I tend to get into my own head and need to have a reality check sometimes. I got out of one of the darkest times in my life thanks to therapy with him and I am forever thankful for the patience, kindness, honesty and care I have, and continue to, receive from him. Thank you for all that you do.
Muma has showed me how to help myself heal. He has given me a key to a door, now I have turned the key and stepped through. Sometimes we all need a little help to find the key after that it's up to us to either use it and move forward or just stay stuck.
Muma has amazed me with his insight and understanding.
So far I am satisfied with Muma Azeh and his counseling. This is the first time I have sought out counseling and my experience has been pleasant. I look forward to the changes he encourages in both my partner and myself.
I was skeptical at first but after my first video meeting with Muma it opened up new lines of communication with my wife.
Dr. M. Is the BEST! Attentive, kind and empathetic! He tells it like it is but with compassion. In a short time- he’s been able to show me how past traumas have hindered me and how to move out of my own way!
Can’t wait to see the end result of the work we’re doing!
I’d give him 10 stars if that were an option.
Really helpful
Very informative and helpful. Motivational too!!
Muma is carring and an excellemt therapist. Looking tor my growth and developpement
So far so good! I've enjoyed our exchanges and feel comfortable and confident in Muma Azeh. It's only been a couple of sessions, but my son likes him and comes away from sessions seeming happy and more at ease with himself, in some wsy and looks forward to the sessions. That's high praise!
Muma has helped me a lot and I would strongly recommend his services.
Muma azeh is an excellent counselor in my opinion, he listens and he understands straight away my struggles but also how my life experiences shaped me. After talking to him I felt like I understood somenthing about myself that I did not see before!
Very good communication, once I started talking to him a heavy weight lift off of my shoulder .
