“ When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability…To be alive is to be vulnerable.”

- Madeleine L’Engle

Agagah-Parlato., MA., LMFT, LPC

As a Togolese immigrant, daughter, sister, fur-mom, and wife in an interracial marriage, my identities profoundly shape my approach as a therapist, evolving each day. The challenges I’ve encountered have provided invaluable insight and a deep desire to assist individuals, couples, and families in overcoming their obstacles and defining their narratives.

Born in Togo, West Africa, I immigrated to the US at four. There, I soon encountered rejection due to my immigrant status. Enduring criticism for my skin color, language, and mannerisms, I struggled to question my identity and adapt to fit in.

Growing up in a culture marked by racism was burdensome. It led me to a journey of self-discovery, during which I grappled with embracing my true self. Despite the pressures, I preserved my native language, a vital aspect of my heritage, which ultimately became a source of strength.

Choosing the field of psychology was a conscious decision to reconnect with my essence, a journey I’ve been privileged to undertake. Through this path, I’ve cultivated self-love, and it continues to evolve.

My mission as a therapist is to foster visibility and empower clients to embrace their narratives. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I strive to provide a space where they can reclaim their stories and harness their inner strength for a fulfilling future.

My Approach

Given the diverse nature of our world, I employ an integrative approach with my clients, utilizing modalities that best meet their unique needs. I prioritize providing warmth, kindness, empathy, and directness when necessary.

I believe in approaches that respect the diverse ways we show up in the world and strive to understand how we wish to create change. My framework helps clients feel heard and visible, empowering them to claim their stories. I use techniques that address the cultural messages we receive throughout our lives from families, communities, and social institutions.
