Akeesha M. Washington is the founder of Slay Therapy, a multidisciplinary, online counseling and life coaching service specific to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) that is affordable, accessible, and convenient. We seek to help eradicate the mental health stigma in BIPOC communities and improve access to quality BIPOC therapists and coaches. Today is the day to SLAY: Start Loving All of You.
My practice supports BIPOC communities in navigating mental health, dismantling stigma, and improving access to quality care while welcoming anyone seeking a culturally competent, anti-racist approach. Rooted in understanding cultural dynamics, our goal is simple: to create a space where you feel empowered to embrace your whole self—no filters needed.
Our focus is to help individuals, couples, and families heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths through transformative cultural, gender, queer-affirming, and racially attuned supports. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan to meet your needs.
