Racial Identity Therapists in 19123

Are you tired of showing up in spaces only to be "othered" or have assumptions be made about you because of how you look? I get it because I've been there and this is something I still experience to this day. Whether you are Black, POC, or LGBTQIA+, there is space for you in this world and I am here to remind you that you can take up space. As a queer black man, therapy was never advertised to me or those who looked like me. I had to tackle the intersections of my identity on my own and it was lonely.

Whether you are experiencing life transitions, a family crisis, or have a diagnosable mental health concern, the Full Being team is here to support. We provide comprehensive wellness care in a culturally responsive manner. Often time clinicians may just focus on the cognitive, or the emotional. We believe in a holistic concept; working with you to support your growth and address your needs in the mind, body and spirit. Our clinicians have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness, and more. Services offered include individual, family & couples sessions.

Do you have trust issues in your relationship? Are you afraid to be honest with your partner or tired of trying to be someone you're not? Neither you or your partner are really talking about your hurt or resentments over pornography and infidelity. You've tried over and over again and the current situation isn't working for you and/or your relationship. Contact me and we will talk about how you feel about your challenges and together come up with a behavioral and emotional strategy for you to move forward! By the end of our FIRST session, you will be given therapeutic goals that you and I will work on.

Hello my name is Mai. I am currently taking clients from all backgrounds. My passion is working with folks who are struggling with anxiety, stress, grief/loss and depression. It my belief that incorporating a holistic approach is important when providing therapy. Therefore, each of my clients are equipped with tools to practice meditation and mindfulness. Much of my work has been co-leading group therapy sessions at the Men’s Center For Growth and Change working with men who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and challenges with parenting.

People are so sick of holding their tongue, wearing costumes, and being inauthentic when navigating social relations. To me, therapy is a place to say the thing and acknowledge the parts of us that many won’t see or hear. The freedom that follows from that experience alone can make all the difference. My hope for our therapeutic relationship is to make space for all of that and more.

If only life were as easy as scrolling through counselor profiles. Let me help you bring healing and understanding to life's difficulties so you can move past them and into a better mind space. I am experienced in all areas of mental health, but I am highly effective in treating stress, anxiety, and depression. In addition to working with those experiencing difficult life transitions such as loss and divorce, I also enjoy working with women's issues such as infertility, postpartum conditions, parenting issues, and adjustments dealing with weight loss.

If you're overwhelmed by societal expectations and questioning your place—what it means to fit into specific roles or identities—you're not alone. Many of us are trying to understand our emotions, eager for personal growth, and seeking genuine connections that resonate with our values. You may be looking for ways to confidently engage in sensitive conversations, aiming to influence change positively and achieve a balance that reflects your true self. Your goals likely extend beyond overcoming these challenges; you aspire to thrive, becoming a more engaged individual who shapes the changes you desire in the world.

Navigating the path to therapy or seeking a new therapist can feel like an overwhelming journey.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults - my expertise includes a wide range of clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and life transitions.

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to experience anxiety, depression, loss, eating disorders and trauma. I know how hard it can be to move out of a shame/guilt spiral, reevaluate your relationships and everything you’ve known about your life so far. I know what it’s like to suffer with something alone and feeling terrified to share it with anyone else from fear of being misunderstood, rejected, shamed, etc.

Through the creation of this alliance, it becomes possible to discover a client-centered focus for treatment and to engage dynamically in the therapeutic process. I see therapy as a space for healing and growth, co-created and nurtured by both client and clinician. My practice is psychodynamic, relational, and at its core holistic, recognizing and integrating the biological, psychological, and social aspects of experience, as well as the individual, institutional, and cultural roots of issues as they arise.

I am a Nigerian Mental Health Counselor who employs a collaborative and client-centered approach in her work with clients. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, art therapy, feminist therapy, multicultural, and trauma-informed interventions to support and empower clients toward increased self-awareness and healthy coping skills.

I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.

When you work with Boundary Span, LLC, you are the center of your treatment, the expert of your own life. We can help facilitate the work, often systemic in nature, while working towards your personal and/or professional goals. We may pull from past lived experiences within family and community systems, as we map out the road ahead. This same "roadmap" can be true for therapeutic clients, clinical supervisees, as well as agencies and corporations seeking services, and also whether a child, adolescent or adult client. There are parallels in the work. You may have various aspects of life in which you feel "stuck". Come break free!

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I draw upon my background as a working-class Latina to provide transformative therapeutic services to individuals, families, and groups.

At the heart of my therapeutic approach is a strength-based perspective, which empowers my clients to embrace their inherent resilience and make positive, healthy choices for their lives.

Are you having trouble feeling seen or heard? Are you struggling to connect and feel stuck? It would be an honor to be a part of your healing journey to explore the intersectionality of various identities (gender, race, sexuality, etc.) and uncover how that may play a role in your personhood. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work with a passion to encourage and empower the potential that others see in themselves. I believe that everyone is inherently valuable and should be treated with dignity and respect.

People come to therapy for so many reasons - perhaps it’s a feeling of overwhelm, a desire to build connection and closeness with yourself and others, or just a hunch that something is off. Whatever your reason may be, now is a great time to begin. I intend to meet you with curiosity and warmth to learn about the depths of your experience as a whole person, honoring the ways you have adapted to manage challenging experiences. I attend carefully to pacing, and will prioritize your autonomy throughout the therapeutic process. Importantly, our work will center on what is important to you.

However you show up, my bottom line is to provide a safe, respectful, and validating space where you are listened to without assumptions, judgement, or an agenda. I have diverse practice experiences that taught me to listen beyond words and look beyond appearances. My trainings in art and music allow me to do so with greater agility and accuracy, bringing us closer to your inner voice and shedding light on your inner world. This foundation of human-to-human understanding will help us work together as partners to reach your goals - whether it is healing, growth, self-exploration, or change - with a deep sense of clarity and peace.
