As a Black Therapist, I understand it can be hard to ask for help. If you feel "stuck", anxious, overwhelmed, or you are struggling with a life transition or career dissatisfaction, a Therapist at Melanated Women's Health is a good fit for you. People who receive therapy from us report increase self understanding and improved coping skills. If you've already tried traditional "talk therapy" and want a change, we also offer EMDR Therapy.
Our Black and Person of Color therapists provide Individual Therapy to meet the needs of all genders process unresolved trauma, interracial/multicultural relationship issues, identity concerns, stress or micro-aggression in the workplace, reproductive health and justice concerns, difficulty managing or expressing emotions and more.
You do not have to "hit rock bottom" to begin therapy. Whether you are new to therapy, have benefited from therapy in the past, or you are a melanated Therapist now in need of support, schedule a consultation call with me to find out which of our compassionate Therapists would be a good fit for your schedule and therapy needs.

Taking the step to find a Therapist is courageous because we live in a society that stigmatizes mental health. No matter what issues you may be experiencing, there is hope for a better tomorrow when you are motivated to heal from past trauma, move from a place of "stuckness", and discontinue living in survival mode.
