A Team Built for Mental Health Success
for the BIPOC Community

Studies show that the #1 factor for successful mental health therapy, is having a therapist you feel you connect with and can trust. Our Person of Color Therapists bring not only their professional expertise but also their personal understanding of the nuances of navigating life as a person of color in today’s society. This shared perspective can significantly enhance the therapeutic process, making it more impactful and empowering for you. At our practice, we are here to support you on your journey to mental wellness with empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to your well-being.

Our team of highly skilled and compassionate Black women therapists is dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported. We understand the unique experiences and challenges that come with being a member of an underserved community, and we are here to provide culturally sensitive and relatable care that fosters healing and growth. We are committed to serving Black and other POC communities that have historically been overlooked and underserved in mental health care. By offering a space where cultural identity and personal experiences are acknowledged and respected, we aim to bridge the gap in access to quality mental health services.

The practice is in-network with Anthem, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Highmark, and Federal Employee Program.
