Black and African American Therapists in Washington, DC

Do you identify as a professional Black woman who experiences difficulty with managing stress, anxiety, and processing emotions? We do not heal in isolation. Many people are turning to group therapy to make sense of the global health pandemic, racial injustices, and violence against women.

You pretend like you’re okay with this “sorta-in-a-relationship-but-not”. He sends “good morning” texts & when you’re together, there’s an intense chemistry like you two were made for each other. Despite that, you’re constantly overthinking his every word and action. You crave planned dates but get “You up?” texts and last minute “hangouts”. You either feel like you’re too much or not enough. You tell yourself to be patient & hope it will pan into an official title. But you’re exhausted being on the rollercoaster of anxiety, hope and disappointment. You’ve tried to end it but you always get reeled back in.

I am so glad you stopped by my profile! Welcome to your healing phase. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, and hurt, you have found the right one. If you often put on a strong face for others or say you like yourself but don’t really feel that way there is help. I know you want to stop feeling anxious, avoiding people, and events. You want the bad thoughts to stop. You may want to get over the grief of losing a loved one, or a divorce. You want to be happy, and to know if you work at it you can be happy again. Your goal is to be whole, loved, and purposeful and that comes with loving yourself, flaws and all.

While I hold specialized awareness to the unique stressors impacting black women and women of color, I am fully committed to holding a safe space for all women, LGBTQ+ communities, and allies.

Hey, welcome! My goal is to normalize therapy and make it accessible to marginalized communities. I identify as a Black Gay man and I have been working with the LGBTQ+ community for over 10 years.

Is the current climate of chaos and confusion driving you crazy? Are you fed up with the racial injustices in our country? Has Coronavirus left you feeling isolated or depressed? If so, I can help! With my passion, cross-cultural competency, and holistic approach, I CAN help you to address the trauma and vicarious trauma you may have experienced from deaths, post-traumatic stress disorder-PTSD, violence, police brutality, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and other mental health challenges. Men and women clients express their gratitude for my non-judgmental, practical approach & my wisdom-from-experience.

Therapy and mental health is still taboo in many families and communities who need it most. There is a huge need for Black mental health providers, and I wanted to help change the narrative of what it means to seek therapy, and maintain a mentally healthy life. I joined the mental health field because it was such a challenge for me to find therapist who looked like me, who had any availability! I hope to fulfill that critical need in my work. If you have found it difficult to reach out for help, I want to support you.
