The Pain Point Is The Turning Point. Our clients come to our practice because they are supposed to go in a new direction. The problems is the pain & the overwhelm is blinding and they don’t know which way to turn. The anxiety you feel is a Do or DIE signal–choose to live again or die with the devil you know. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve worked with individuals, couples, & families to help them break free from traumatic responses, toxic relationships, & unfulfilling patterns that keep them stuck. We follow the 3/7 rule. In 3 sessions, we end your pain; in 7 sessions, we give you the tools & insights to make lasting change.

We provide a compassionate environment and a proven roadmap for deep & quick healing. Our holistic approach combines the Safe and Sound Protocol, applied kinesiology, conscious forgiveness, prolonged immersion, memory reformation & a 7-week coaching process. The typical response after a session is “I feel Light”. Call/email for a FREE 30-Min Consultation.

As Black therapists, we understand the deep impact of intergenerational trauma, systemic challenges, and identity crisis. For those seeking a Christian therapist, We offer a faith-based approach that integrates spiritual guidance with evidence-based trauma recovery techniques. If you’re ready to step into the life you love and deserve, we are here to help.
