For Individuals

Grief and Loss

All individuals experience multiple types of grief and loss at some point within their lifespan. The term “Grief and loss” refer to the process one experiences due to the loss of a loved one (due to death or a relationship ending), the loss of an identity, pattern of behavior(s) and/or expectations. During grief and loss therapy, our therapist will focus on helping individuals understand their journey through grief, identify effective coping strategies and learn how to thrive while living with the loss(es).

Trauma

Trauma therapy focuses on helping individuals identify episodes of trauma and work towards healing. Trauma impacts individuals differently resulting in changes in mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. Often, the impact of trauma may go unnoticed as being trauma related until the dots are connected to specific incidents and changes within the individual. Trauma focused therapy helps individuals process the trauma, understand how it has impacted their lifestyle and identify strategies to help them heal and move towards recovery and wellbeing. We offer trauma informed care and evidenced based trauma therapy modalities such as Eye-movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and Restorative Retelling.

Addiction

46.3 million people aged 12 or older (or 16.5 percent of the population) met the applicable DSM-5 criteria for having a substance use disorder in 2020. Addiction therapy helps assess and address the needs of individuals who are living with addiction to substances, food, gaming, sex and other patterns of behaviors that impacts one’s daily living activities, health, and interpersonal relationships. Working with individuals who are experiencing addiction, require specialized training and care to educate, develop life-skills, and move individuals towards a life of recovery. Other topics related to trauma: intergenerational trauma, historical trauma.

Relationship Issues

Relationships with the self and others are one of the most significant factors that impact one’s wellbeing. It is reported that those more socially connected to family, friends, and their community are happier, physically healthier, live a longer lifespan and experience fewer mental health challenges. In addition to promoting healthy relationships, therapy services are also provided to address issues related to domestic violence (gender-based violence), sexual assault, family therapy, boundaries, self-esteem, identity, and other topics.

Anxiety and Stress Management

All individuals experience stress as a part of their lifestyle. However, increased levels of stress or chronic stress has a negative impact on one’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Due to increased stress individuals report experiencing higher levels of anxiety, depression, and other mental and physical health conditions. Our therapists help identify triggers related to stress and develop a comprehensive self-care plan to promote recovery and wellbeing. Upon completion, individuals report a decrease in negative symptoms related to stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, and an increase in life satisfaction and wellbeing.

Black Women

Black women often are referred to as ‘strong black woman’, ‘superheroes’, and other self and society-fulling prophecies leading to burnout, exhaustion, and an inability to pause and REST. Researchers often document various social determinants of health negatively impacting black women resulting in lower health outcomes, premature mortality, and an increase in undiagnosed or untreated mental and physical health conditions. Our goal is to provide a safe space for black woman to take a ‘selah’ moment and unpack their experiences through one’s authentic voice; develop a customized plan of action to help navigate identified challenges; and create a self-care plan to promote recovery and resilience.

Racial Trauma

Racial trauma, or race-based traumatic stress (RBTS), refers to the mental and emotional injury caused by encounters with racial bias and ethnic discrimination, racism, and hate crimes. Any individual that has experienced or witnessed (in person or via news, audio, or social media) an emotionally painful, sudden, and uncontrollable racist encounter is at risk of suffering from a race-based traumatic stress injury. In recent years, we have seen a rise in incidents of racial trauma among various ethnicities and cultures nationally and internationally. Our therapists help educate individuals on the impact of RBTS on their wellbeing and identify strategies that promote recovery and resilience.

Self-care/Wellbeing

Self-care is the key to wellbeing. Our therapists focus on helping individuals develop a comprehensive self-care plan to address the following pillars: mental wellness, emotional wellness, physical wellness, spiritual wellness, financial wellness, personal development, and community engagement. In a world where many things are out of our control, our ability to take care of ourselves in the one thing we have control over. Our self-care plans focus on effective strategies that individuals can integrate into their lifestyle to help promote resiliency, greater health outcomes, and joy!
