Life has been extremely HARD, and incredibly overwhelming. If you're navigating life stressors, trauma, anxiety, depression, racism at work, identity, grief/loss, or major changes—therapy can really help. At Melanated Healing, we provide a safe, inclusive space to support your healing & personal growth while also helping you to balancing the day-to-day. Our holistic care cultivates a deep sense of belonging and affirmation. Understanding your mental health is a powerful step toward reclaiming your peace. Here, we’ll boost your ability to navigate life's challenges and walk with you on your path towards healing—past and present.

Your therapy sessions will be trauma-informed, focusing on building a safe, trusting relationship. In this non-judgmental space, we'll create your goals and choose the best treatment approach together. Our therapists often use CBT, EDMR, DBT, Faith-Based, and ACT treatment modalities to support your healing.

If you're tired of managing your mental health alone and interested in some support, let's connect. Starting therapy or finding a new therapist can feel daunting, but this first step can lead to meaningful and lasting change. Call us for a free consultation to talk this through and see if one of our therapists is the right fit for you.
