Racial Identity Therapists in Silsbee, TX

The ideal client is one that is willing to work in session and practice out of session. I work best with clients that are willing to be honest and raw with me. I respect someone that can voice their truest thoughts/feelings/and behaviors because I will be equally direct with my identification of distortions in their thoughts and actions. The greatest acceptance of ourselves can only be achieved with an honest look inward. This honesty allows us see what strengths we desire to build and what needs we can reduce. With this direct, loving, and accepting approach, the counseling process can be maximized in its efficacy.

The gift of therapy cannot be truly measured in words or action, but in how you feel afterwards.

We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking.

Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you.

Having to be strong, tough, and on all the time can be draining. Compound all of that with having to do it while hiding your emotions can be doubly stressful. Black men are raised to be resilient and silent, to take what life throws at you without complaining “Just Man Up!”. Being raised to be strong was the message. Weakness is not to be shown or felt. Now when you’re upset or overwhelmed you have nowhere to turn for help.
