3 Easy Steps
Free
Consultation
This 15-minute consultation allows you to ask questions about our teletherapy practice to determine if we are a good fit. If we mutually agree to move forward, you will be required to complete an initial evaluation. The initial evaluation can be completed immediately after the consultation, or it can be scheduled for a later date at your convenience.
Initial
Evaluation
During this session, we will go over the informed consent and answer any questions you may have pertaining to it. After you sign the consent form, the remainder of this session will serve as a get-to-know-you session where we will gather background information from you to determine your needs and work together to help define your goals for therapy.
Individual Teletherapy
Each one-on-one teletherapy session is approximately 45-50 minutes. Because every individual is unique, our therapy sessions are not one size fits all. Through counseling, we engage you by paying close attention to your stories, validating your feelings, and working on a plan to help you overcome your obstacles and live life at your best.

Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health disorders in the U.S., with anxiety disorders affecting 40 million adults in the U.S. age 18 and older (ADAA, 2020), and depression affecting an estimated 17 million American adults each year (ADAA, 2020). Depression and anxiety disorders are different; However, people who suffer from depression may also experience symptoms of anxiety.
Suicide risk for Black boys ages 5 through adolescence is 2-3 times higher than that of white boys. Depression in Black males may go undetected due to the way it presents itself, resulting in Black males being placed at a disadvantage because their symptoms are more likely to be overlooked or dismissed.
Single Parenting
According to Census data, 25% of U.S. families are headed by a single parent, and 80% of single-parent headed households are moms. Whether a child has one parent or two, children thrive when they have parenting that’s nurturing, warm, sensitive, responsive, and flexible.
Relationship Conflict
Positive relationships are important to our overall mental wellness. Conflicts within relationships create stress, and if persistent, can be detrimental to the health and well-being of all individuals involved. The key to having a successful relationship is by engaging in healthy communication.
Racial Trauma
Racial trauma refers to the mental and emotional injury caused by being exposed to various forms of racism on a daily basis (racial bias, ethnic discrimination, and racial abuse and violence). Black Americans and other ethnic minorities are negatively impacted physically, psychologically, and emotionally due to prolonged exposure to racism. Symptoms of racial trauma are comparable to symptoms experienced with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). Racism manifests itself in three forms: 1) Systemic racism, which is designed to maintain the oppression of minority groups, is experienced when doctrines, institutions, and policies function to produce racial inequality, 2) interpersonal racism is demonstrated through bigotry, bias, prejudice, and microaggressions, and 3) internalized racism is the acceptance of negative stereotypes and societal beliefs about one’s racial class.
Life Transitions
Life transitions are inevitable. They can be filled with excitement, joy, and happiness, or they can be filled with grief, loss, and despair. Although you may not have control over certain life transitions such as loss, you do remain in control over how you live your life moving forward.
