Black and African American Therapists in Coppell, TX
You’ve got a lot going for you. You may even be the one everyone comes to when they need help. You seem so... together and somehow, you’re still overthinking, second-guessing, unfulfilled, or stuck on the SAME thing. Maybe it's your love life, your family/friends, your career, or figuring out what you actually want next. Something isn't working for you. And the annoying part? You probably already know what you need to do but maybe the how isn't so clear. Sessions don't have to be heavy all the time. We can laugh, keep it real, unpack the hard stuff, and figure out how to actually move forward.

Life doesn’t pause for us to catch our breath, it just keeps coming. I learned that firsthand growing up in Chicago, where resilience wasn’t optional, it was survival. Those early lessons shaped my belief that we’re all here on purpose, with purpose. Even the hard chapters, the setbacks, the losses, the disappointments,can lead us toward growth, clarity, and a more meaningful life. Whether you’re a teen boy figuring out your place in the world, a man under pressure to “hold it all together,” a woman trying to balance success and self-care, or a couple ready to reconnect, I provide a judgment-free space where we can do the real work.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past trauma and coping habits can make survival feel like just getting by—and not enough. Trauma, chronic stress, or painful experiences can disrupt your sense of safety, identity, and ability to cope. You might turn to alcohol, other substances, overworking, or isolation to manage—but these strategies can create new challenges and leave you feeling stuck or disconnected.

Maybe you're a mom who has poured everything into everyone else and forgotten what it feels like to pour into yourself.

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.
