What We Work On Together

You're in the Right Place If…

College Student Support

Thriving through one of life's biggest transitions.

Starting college is exciting, and overwhelming. Between academic pressure, being away from home for the first time, navigating new social dynamics, and figuring out who you are and what you want, it's a lot to carry. You don't have to struggle through this all alone. Therapy can give you the calm place you need to navigate all the change.

What we work on together:

  • Adjusting to college life and homesickness
  • Managing academic stress and perfectionism
  • Building social confidence and healthy friendships
  • Exploring identity, values, and career direction
  • Developing coping skills for anxiety and overwhelm
Approach: CBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based exploration.

New Moms & Postpartum

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Becoming a mother is one of the most profound transitions a woman can experience, and one of the least talked about honestly. Postpartum depression, anxiety, identity shifts, and the pressure to "bounce back" can leave new moms feeling isolated and overwhelmed. Your wellbeing matters just as much as your baby's.

What we work on together:

  • Postpartum depression and anxiety support
  • Adjusting to the identity shift of motherhood
  • Managing expectations and asking for help
  • Strengthening your support system
Approach: Trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and interpersonal therapy.

Depression

Finding your way back to yourself.

Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel impossible: getting out of bed, showing up for the people you love, or simply feeling present in your own life. You may feel heavy, disconnected, or like you've lost the version of yourself you used to know.

What we work on together:

  • Identifying and shifting negative thought patterns
  • Rebuilding motivation and daily structure
  • Processing grief, loss, or unresolved pain
  • Reconnecting with joy, purpose, and identity
Approach: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based techniques, and strengths-based exploration.

Anxiety

Building calm from the inside out.

Racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension, always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Anxiety can be exhausting, especially when you're expected to hold everything together. Whether it's generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or the pressure of being a high-achieving Black woman in demanding spaces, you deserve relief.

What we work on together:

  • Understanding your anxiety triggers and patterns
  • Developing grounding and coping strategies
  • Challenging catastrophic thinking
  • Building confidence and emotional regulation
Approach: CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

Career & Work Stress

Your ambition deserves support.

Burnout, imposter syndrome, workplace microaggressions, feeling stuck or undervalued: career stress is real and it takes a toll. As a Black woman navigating professional spaces, you may carry additional burdens that others don't see. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through it.

What we work on together:

  • Processing racial stress and workplace trauma
  • Overcoming imposter syndrome and self-doubt
  • Setting boundaries with work and colleagues
  • Clarifying career goals and next steps
Approach: CBT, life coaching techniques, and culturally sensitive exploration.

Raising children while caring for yourself.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles you'll ever hold. Whether you're navigating behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, single parenting, or simply trying to break generational cycles, you deserve support too. You can't pour from an empty cup.

What we work on together:

  • Managing parenting stress and overwhelm
  • Navigating co-parenting and family conflict
  • Breaking generational trauma patterns
  • Building connection with your children
