Individual Therapy for Black Women

Therapy is for “crazy” people.

Black people don’t go to therapy.

You’re in therapy! You don’t need therapy!

And yet, you know that you cannot continue to go through life the same way you’ve been doing it.

“I’m the person that people always seek for help. I shouldn’t need anyone else to help me.”

“I have the tools; I shouldn’t need a therapist.”

“All my life, I’ve taken care of everything. I should easily take care of myself.”

However, taking care of yourself feels like a struggle and something you no longer have the time or capacity to accomplish.

Your life doesn’t matter, and you should be grateful for what you have.

If you express any emotions other than happiness, then you’re angry and have illicit fear.

So, you hide your feelings, smile, ‘grin and bear it’ because you have so much to give thanks for in your life.

And still, there’s so much pain.

You’ve internalized all these beliefs and recognize that you’re unsure how much longer you can survive at this pace.

Take the cape off here – be yourself and not superwoman. Individual therapy provides time and space dedicated solely to YOU.

Your family and loved ones need you because you hold everything together.

And you need a space just for yourself because of all that.

Setting aside a designated time to focus on yourself and your needs is not selfish.

Learning how to set boundaries with others and communicate your needs is not selfish.

You need a space to heal from childhood wounds and advocate for your wants and desires.

Showing up and unapologetically living your life is healthy and permits you to be honest to yourself and others.

Talking with someone who gets what it means to be a Black woman in America is essential to you.

That someone won’t show confusion about how your hair looks each week.

And therapy is offered as a place where you are free to express anger.

It is necessary that you have someone who understands as you talk about subtle racism at work.

Being a Black woman is who you are, and we cannot separate that from our work together.

“Black Girl Magic” is an illusion that things appear by the tap of a wand.

However, these things actually result from an investment of time and energy while pursuing an overall goal.

You do this in your career, business, family, and other things, but you barely pay attention to yourself.

Nothing in your life is lackluster, mediocre, or basic – why should caring about yourself be any different?

In our work together, the focus shifts entirely to an investment in yourself.

Now is the time to heal, move past limiting beliefs, and gain a deeper understanding of why you don’t feel good enough in your life.

Working with us will help you sort out what you have received and what you no longer need to carry alone.

Our goal is to help you live a life of purpose and authenticity.
