The Feelings Brother EMDR and Relational
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, MHA, LMHC, LPC, LCPC
Saint Louis, MO 63101
Serving: KS, MO & FL clients. I am an African-American clinician whose work is deeply rooted in serving Black and Brown communities, as well as individuals who live in close proximity to or are shaped by these cultural realities. I approach therapy with the understanding that our psychological wounds are not created in a vacuum. Historical trauma, systemic oppression, cultural expectations, masculinity norms, faith traditions, and survival strategies all shape how distress shows up in our lives. These factors make our experiences meaningfully different from those of the general population—and they deserve to be understood as such.

What am I doing wrong? I am so frustrated I can't think straight!" Your relationships have been struggling. People have lost trust in you. You’ve lost trust in people.
