What Clients Say About Therapy for Black Men

I can't even begin to explain how this amazing group of talented therapists have dramatically changed my life for the better. I can not recommend them enough if you're looking for a team that values diversity, equity, and holistic healing. Super thankful to have been with them the past few years!
D.J.
I’ve seen several therapists, but from the moment I met Vic, I knew this would be different. Our conversations felt like talking to a friend who genuinely helped me. With EMDR therapy, I significantly improved my quality of life. I processed childhood trauma that had held me back and reframed my thinking. I’m incredibly grateful for the work we did together—Vic is an incredible therapist!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need therapy?

If you often feel overwhelmed, stressed, or disconnected, it may be time to consider therapy. For Black men, this can manifest as navigating societal pressures, facing stigma, or managing feelings of isolation. Signs to look for include significant mood swings, struggles with everyday stressors, persistent sadness or anger, or dealing with challenges that feel out of your control. Therapy can offer you a safe space to address these experiences, providing support, insights, and strategies to enhance your mental and emotional well-being.

Our Black Male Therapy services cater to young adults, and mature men. We typically start serving individuals from the age of 18 and up. Each age group faces unique challenges, and our therapists are skilled in providing age-appropriate support and guidance.

Black Male Therapy focuses on addressing the unique psychological needs and challenges faced by Black men. This specialized therapy aims to provide a safe space where issues related to racial identity, cultural stress, and societal expectations can be explored and managed effectively.

Therapy can offer strategies to cope with the stress of systemic inequalities and racial trauma. Through techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, therapists can help you develop resilience, improve your emotional response, and empower you to navigate these complex challenges.
Your first session is primarily about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask about your life, what brings you to therapy, and your goals for the sessions. It’s a chance for you to ask questions and see how therapy can be tailored to meet your needs.

We ensure confidentiality by conducting sessions in a secure environment and using protected electronic systems for managing your information. We share details only with your consent or when legally required. Our therapists are trained to handle your information with care, and we regularly review our practices to maintain privacy and comply with regulations. Your trust and privacy are our top priorities.

A standard individual therapy session lasts anywhere between 45 to 60 minutes. Please ask your specific therapist for more information, as this can vary depending on many factors.
