You should be able to see that therapy is working
Every woman at Amani gets the same three things: a full first look at your life, a plan you help write, and regular check-ins so we both know you're getting better.
Four parts, one goal: you feeling like yourself again
We get to know you.
In your first couple of sessions, your therapist learns about your whole life, not only what brought you in. Your health, your family, your work, your culture, and what has helped you before.
We make a plan together.
Your goals are written in your words. You decide what "better" looks like, and you get a copy of the plan.
We check in as we go.
A short check-in at each session shows how your week went and how therapy is feeling. If something isn't working, we change it.
We look back and plan ahead.
Every few weeks, you and your therapist review your progress. When you've met your goals, we plan your next chapter together.
No guessing whether it's helping
Many women leave therapy without ever knowing if it worked. We don't want that for you.
At the start, you'll answer a few short questions about how you've been feeling. You'll answer them again along the way, so you can see how far you've come. It takes a few minutes, and your therapist goes over the results with you.
Your answers are private and part of your health record. They're there to guide your care, not to grade you.
What you can expect
- A clear picture of where you're starting
- Goals you chose, in your own words
- A quick check-in at each session
- Regular reviews of your progress

Is your child seen at CCD?
Amani is the sister practice of CCD (Center for Child Development). If your child is in care at CCD, your therapist and your child's therapist can work together, so everyone is on the same page.
This only happens with your written permission, and you decide what is shared.
Therapy that fits your life
- In person in Newark, or online in Delaware and Maryland
- Daytime and evening appointments

- No cost to you with Delaware Medicaid
- Medication management if it might help
What happens when you reach out
Tell us a little about what you need.
Use our short, secure form or call us. You don't need the right words or your whole story figured out.
We help with fit, availability, and insurance.
Within one business day, our team reaches out, suggests a therapist who fits, confirms availability, and checks your coverage.
Begin with the right support.
Full registration and clinical paperwork come after fit and an appointment are confirmed.
About how we work
Do I have to fill out questionnaires?
We ask that you do. They're short, and they help you and your therapist see what's changing. If a question doesn't feel right, tell your therapist.
Who sees my answers?
You and your therapist. Your answers are part of your confidential health record, with the limited exceptions required by law.
What if I'm not getting better?
Then we talk about it and change course. That might mean a new approach, a different schedule, or a conversation about medication. Your check-ins help us catch this early.
How long will I be in therapy?
It depends on you and your goals. Your plan is reviewed every few weeks, so you'll always know where you stand.
Can my therapist work with my child's therapist at CCD?
Yes, if you'd like. It only happens with your written permission, and you decide what's shared.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept Aetna, Highmark Delaware commercial plans, and Delaware Medicaid plans, including Highmark Health Options, AmeriHealth Caritas Delaware, and Delaware First Health. There is no cost to you with Delaware Medicaid. We confirm your benefits before scheduling.
You have carried enough on your own.
Take the first small step. We will help you find the next right one.
