Hi I'm Kenzie! One of the bravest things people can do is to reach out for some help, especially in our child, adolescent and young adult years. Growing up can come with all sorts of pressure, confusion, and judgement, leading to anxiety and other strong emotions. Anxiety may cause us to struggle with communication, lash out in anger, act on impulses, get lost in our feelings, avoid tasks, distract us from success, and disconnect us from support systems.

For someone who is struggling to understand what is happening internally (thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses) while also working to accept a current situation, it can be exhausting both mentally and emotionally. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can empower an individual to learn strategies to become mindful, accept and tolerate difficult circumstances, and learn to analyze problems or destructive behavior patterns while replacing them with more healthy ones.

In today's ever-evolving social and political landscape, the achievements and triumphs of unapologetically successful Black Women in the professional world are gaining the recognition they truly deserve. We will use the book "The Other BLACK Girl" as a foundation to unpack and explore topics like systemic and internalized racism, Black female experiences, workplace privilege, and the role of media in shaping racial representations. Our gatherings provide a comforting refuge—a space where Black Women can engage in self-discovery, reflect on their lives, and build meaningful relationships.
It's okay to feel disconnected or overwhelmed at times—you're not alone in this experience. You want connection—connection with your partner, your children, friends, family, and coworkers. Yet sometimes, in the midst of striving, achieving, and hustling, we wake up to find we've lost connection with ourselves and the people who matter most. If you're longing to reconnect with your authentic self and deepen your relationships, healing is possible. Healing can look like rediscovering parts of yourself you’ve lost touch with, feeling more grounded and present in your relationships, and gaining clarity on your needs and values.
