You might feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or impacted by experiences that still feel heavy. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Reaching out to a therapist can be hard—you may worry about being judged or opening up to someone new. I work with teens and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and emotional pain, creating a space where you can explore what’s going on and begin experiencing yourself in new ways.

You have strengths that need building. Often, environments and other factors remind us if our weaknesses, and we begin to live our life from that viewpoint. We focus on the positive aspects to include the client's abilities, talents and resources that helped them achieve satisfaction. When feeling imbalanced or down on oneself it sometimes is difficult to recall or even identify the strengths that got you to a good place. We have been specifically trained on the Strengths Perspective and have full belief in the clients capabilities. When you feel better, you show up better and that's what we intend to help you do.

You’ve always been the strong one, the one who figures it out, holds it down, and keeps it moving. But under the surface, it’s exhausting. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of family expectations, relationship patterns that no longer serve you, fertility or pregnancy related stress, postpartum changes, or wounds passed down through generations. You don’t have to keep carrying it alone.

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.
