Black and African American Therapists in Cherry Hills Village, CO
Everyone deserves to feel safe in their mind, body and environment. If you've dealt with trauma, tumultuous relationships, or adverse childhood experiences, this sense of safety may be unfamiliar. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma associated with childhood abuse/neglect, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, and sexual assault. I also have a deep understanding of intersectionality and approach therapy through a culturally responsive lens; taking into consideration the impact of systems of oppression, marginalization and historical/racial trauma. I am dedicated to serving BIPOC and LGBTQ communities

My ideal client is one who feels that they are stuck and has found it hard to find a way out. They are seeking purpose and are tired of living an unfulfilled life. They may have made some mistakes and need assistance on the journey of reconciliation. They could be dealing with a loss so detrimental that it has halted any forward progress in life and they now need to understand the new person they will become. They could have suffered tremendously at the hands of others and the pain of the past is still present and they need to find away to make sense of it all. My ideal client has been afflicted with the human condition.

Grief and loss can leave you feeling shattered, as though you will never experience joy again. Life losses take many forms (death, job loss, relationship loss, etc.) and it's difficult knowing where to turn for help during these times. Another difficult loss is familial estrangement. The latest YouGov poll states that 38% of adults are estranged from someone in their family. People become estranged for many reasons, the most common reasons are abuse, betrayal, and manipulation. I have worked with many parents and children on this issue and they have found it helpful, especially towards reconciliation if possible.

You know what you need to do, but no matter how much you try to focus, you cannot seem to get yourself to do it. For so long, all you can remember is tired, or sad, or angry. Your anxiety takes over, and it feels like the whole world is pressing down. Some days, your bed seems to suck you in because it is the only place where you can hide. You might have even tried therapy already.
You feel like shattering.
But part of you wants to keep going.
You are not alone in feeling this way. There are solutions.

Supervision available. I offer an Afrocentric view of psychotherapy coupled with honesty, humor, and compassion. I believe in the potential to coexist with the events of the past while fueling the future. Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born from the lack of Afrocentric-based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their life journey through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health, and the denial of the everyday experience of being a person of color continue to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to discuss these experiences.

As a passionate and dedicated trauma therapist, I work with both high-profile clients and individuals from all walks of life, believing in the transformative power of therapy for everyone. At the core of our existence lies the profound truth that self-love is essential for all human beings. To truly seek fulfillment, we must first uncover the unique gifts we possess and release the repressed emotions that may be holding us back. Without self-love, our efforts in relationships and personal endeavors may falter, as these unaddressed emotions can infiltrate every interaction we have.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
