Together, we'll find the best way to approach your individual circumstance. The word "Sankofa" reminds us that it's ok to reflect on the past... in fact, it is one of the bravest things you can do.

Bourne ANEW, a consultation service founded by Kenn Bourne, a Philadelphia-based social worker, provides curated interventions and valuable skills to Black boys and young men, so they may have a fair shot to lead the purposeful lives we all need them to. Black bodies are complicated and intersect many systems. Until now, this overlooked population has been forced to seek healing in therapeutic spaces that have not yet adapted to intersecting modalities of healing.

As a Black individual or Person of Color, this may or not be your first experience with therapy. You may feel overwhelmed by stress, life transitions, and past unhealed wounds and are unsure of what to do. Or you might be curious about the roots of your distress and pain. Or you might feel burned out from the ongoing fight against social injustice. Or you might struggle to find emotional balance as you pursue a degree in higher education. If any of these describe you, know that you are not alone and there is hope.

Are you tired of showing up in spaces only to be "othered" or have assumptions be made about you because of how you look? I get it becuase I've been there and this is something I still experience to this day. Whether you are Black , POC, or LGBTQIA+, there is space for you in this world and I am here to remind you that you can take up space.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black , gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

As a Black female or Person of Color, you may be unsure about finding a therapist that understands your needs. I'm here to ease your concerns! I help women become happier and live more authentically to achieve their Relationship Goals with themselves and others. During our session, you will be introduced to techniques to decrease frustration, improve your communication, and discover some things that will help to improve your relationships. Relationships can be challenging to navigate and need a lot of effort, focus, and energy. I work with you to identify problems, formulate solutions, and put relationship dynamics into context.

I know asking for help can be hard, especially if you identify as Black , Brown, or Immigrant. Your decision to seek help from a Therapist is a sign of courage and self-awareness, not weakness. If you are feeling "stuck" or constantly fear the worse thing happening, have experienced or witnessed traumatic events, or having difficulty in a romantic or professional relationship, I can help. Our therapeutic relationship will help you gain awareness for life events and generational patterns that are influencing present day concerns. You will also develop new coping skills to feel more at peace and confident in your daily life.

Greetings, my name is Dr. Allena M. Moncrief and I have been providing therapeutic services to clients in the Philadelphia area since 2010. I obtained my PhD from Drexel University in the field of Couple and Family Therapy in 2017. As a psychotherapist, I understand the decision to enter psychotherapy can be extremely challenging for some individuals. Thus, I strive to meet individuals where they are in the therapeutic process. This process involves helping individuals explore the root of their difficulties/road blocks and assisting them with creating a roadmap that will lead to a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

At the core, I believe we all want to feel loved, heard, and understood. However, there may be things getting in the way of what we want, such as trauma, family influences, and societal messaging. My goal is to co-create a space with you (and your partner) that is affirming of your unique background and experiences. We can explore where you’re feeling stuck and how to create new opportunities for healing, intimacy, and connection. I work with individuals and couples of all backgrounds but have particular interest and experience in the queer, poly/CNM, and Black communities.

Hey there! Therapy can be such an overwhelming process to get started with, especially when you may already be struggling with feelings of burnout, depression, or anxiety that make everyday tasks feel monumental. In particular for Black , queer, or neurodivergent individuals, feeling safe and truly seen by their therapist may be particularly challenging. With over 9 years experience, my approach to therapy is strengths-based, person-centered, affirming, anti-oppressive, and relational. Together we will consider functional strategies to help you close the gap between the life you're living, and the life you envision for yourself.

As a practice, we are committed to Black excellence and helping clients address the impacts of generational, historical, societal, and/or employment-related experiences relative to their unique ethnic personhood. Our focus is to help our clients address their needs and overcome challenges associated with the Black lived experience. We believe in creating the safest space possible while also helping clients utilize their strengths to cultivate personal growth and change. By using an interdisciplinary therapy-coaching model, we are able to guide our clients through a holistic approach to improvement and empowerment.

My therapy focuses solely on you, your wants, and needs. My job is not to tell you what to do, but rather to walk alongside you on your journey, helping you become aware of and explore what may hinder your success. I am committed to developing a trusting, authentic, and transparent relationship with each individual that I work with so that you feel comfortable being open. Reaching out for support is difficult, and I am here to be present throughout your process and journey. My treatment emphasizes strengths and person-centered approaches, believing in the resilience and individuality of each client, that you are your own expert.
