Black and African American Therapists in Littleton, CO
I'm Danielle, a queer Black therapist at Listen Counseling Center.
Maybe you're managing anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that drains the energy out of everything, or trauma that still shows up in ways you didn't expect. Maybe you're navigating addiction, ADHD, autism, or emotional overwhelm and you're exhausted from pushing through it alone. Maybe your relationships are suffering, or you've been through therapists who didn't understand your experience as a LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and/or neurodivergent person. Whether you feel like you're too much for everyone or you're holding it together behind a smile, you deserve a space where you can just be honest.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve spent much of your life navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, or challenging relationship patterns. My approach is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively to help you better understand what’s been holding you back and what you need to move forward.
I provide trauma-informed, person-centered therapy for adults, adolescents, couples (including ethically non-monogamous and non-traditional relationships), and families. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences, identity, attachment patterns, and current stressors impact your emotions and relationships.

Lately, you can barely get out of bed and muster up the energy to go about your basic tasks. You still haven't fully recovered from the past and now your current life is bringing unbelievable stress. Honestly, anxiety and depression are kicking your butt - again! Your daily responsibilities, job, and relationships are suffering. Friends are distant and days go by where you barely talk to anyone. Minor frustrations send you into an irrational rage where you want to scream and cry at the same time. Your past pain and current stressors are threatening to hold you as a prisoner. It's a lonely place and it feels like there's no way out.

Life is hard—more often than not, it just doesn’t turn out the way we thought it would. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, significant losses, or relationship struggles. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break or weighed down by an accumulation of “small problems” that now feel overwhelming. Here’s the truth: It’s not you—life is just hard. And therapy helps.

I believe that the most important factor of success in therapy is the authentic relationship. I have a passion for learning about each client's talents and strengths and using those to increase their life satisfaction. I believe that all people have a desire to live the best lives they can live, and at times need support in identifying and eliminating the barriers that prevent them from doing so. I believe that trauma, whether from watching the daily news or experiencing combat in war, is at the root of many of these barriers.

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.
