Black and African American Therapists in Washington

My ideal client is: Open minded & ready to take action steps If you're here it's because you want a change and if you want a change it requires work and dedication. This can be tough alone but thats why I am here to help equip you through this journey. My ideal client is honest and accountable. Please be kind to yourself, Have grace with yourself and if we move past the intake give the sessions at least a month. Willing to be persistent and patient and stay the course as you work on your issues and gain awareness of strengths and problems during the course of counseling.

Women seeking healthier relationships are my specialty. Even now, if you are deciding to change how you exist in this world you are already in transformation. Transformation comes through making choices that are conscious, consistent & compassionate and through dis-internalizing systems that are set up to repress and minimize your preciousness. The more we do this, the more we can give & receive love, find our fellow travelers (because we aren't meant to do this alone!) and create safe spaces in otherwise stormy places. With hearts open, and wisdom engaged, change becomes beautifully inevitable.

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

I am a therapist of color that is passionate about helping other people thrive in every area of life. Living in a society where we aren't given permission to express our emotions or given the skills to handle them can lead us to a place of feeling stuck, isolated, and confused. Whether it's feeling low or depressed from life circumstances, anger from past trauma and injustices, or just feeling tired of being sick and tired; I have experienced all of these things and want to help you examine and unpack the troubles you are experiencing in life. In my practice, I create a space for you to be the authentic you with no judgment or shame

Are you seeking a compassionate and experienced therapist to guide you through life's challenges? I am a dedicated mental health therapist with a passion for helping individuals overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, and self-esteem issues. I understand that seeking therapy can be a courageous step, and I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote healing, resilience, and personal growth.

As an LMFTA working with couples and families, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I prioritize understanding the unique dynamics and needs of each relationship, and work collaboratively with my clients to identify and address the root causes of any issues or conflicts. My goal is to empower my clients to build stronger and healthier relationships, and to develop the communication and problem-solving skills necessary to maintain these relationships over time.

I am interested in supporting you through transitions, trauma, and life changes that can be difficult to navigate. I utilize a trauma-informed approach that is grounded in social justice, lived experience, and uplifting community. I have primarily worked with youth and also have experience working with LGBTQIA adults and survivors of assault through therapeutic groups and advocacy work. I am committed to supporting those who have been marginalized and believe that healing and justice is necessary for our communities.

I believe that we all have the power deep inside of us to make the changes that we want in our lives. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of extra support and a different perspective along the way. My counseling approach is one of care, compassion, and empathy. It is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my client, one that feels comfortable and free from judgment and shame. Therapy is an opportunity for expression, self-exploration, healing, and learning new skills and strategies to address the issues that are getting in your way. Taking care of your mental health is as important as your physical health.

Therapy sessions with NIO Counseling are a non-judgmental environment and the client is not just another client. The individual or family blazes the trail and we are in the accompanying seat in reaching the goal of therapy, through clinical guidance that encourages all to thrive during and after therapy sessions. There is a focus on family systems theory and the unit's complex interaction as the basis for treatment. Anxiety, stress, fear, isolation, being overwhelmed, being out of control in everyday circumstances, and the feeling of loss or the unknown can be unbundled for a more productive and fulfilling living. Hope is here!

Do you find yourself paralyzed by racing thoughts? Have you struggled to make it through the day or even to get out of bed? Do you look around at your life and feel like you should be happy but just can’t figure out why you aren’t? Anxiety and depression can manifest in many ways. You may feel stuck, sad, numb, or unable to accomplish even the simplest tasks. You may struggle at work, in relationships, and even in caring for yourself. You don’t have to struggle anymore. Anxiety and depression treatment targeted to the unique needs of women can help.

I believe that therapy is based in a philosophy of respect, trust and building a safe non-judgemental relationship. I strongly believe each person has the wisdom to understand what works for them. I want clients to know they've come to a place of hope and my role as therapist is to listen and guide by providing support and encouragement

Life is way too short to feel like your best isn't good enough. Too short to fear you will not be accepted as you are and feel as though you have to live in your own shadow. You do not have to avoid certain people, places, or feelings to feel in control of your body. Could you be holding yourself back from being your best self? Kind of like self-sabotage? Do you have difficulty trusting others or building bonds out of fear they are just going to leave you? This could lead to experiencing difficulty maintaining any type of relationship.

Maybe you feel as if your primary relationships are suffering and you could use a mediator. Maybe you have ongoing mental health challenges and need to build your support system. No matter your circumstance I am here to help you bloom where you are planted.
