What Clients Say About Therapy for Black Women

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’re feeling persistent stress or anxiety, struggling to manage your emotions, experiencing changes in your daily life, or dealing with the unique challenges of being a Black woman, it might be time to consider therapy. Other signs include ongoing relationship issues, feeling stuck or unfulfilled, difficulty processing trauma or grief, and a desire for personal growth. Remember, seeking therapy is a proactive step toward healing and self-discovery.

“Black women therapy” refers to therapeutic approaches specifically tailored to the unique experiences of Black women, addressing challenges such as racial and gender discrimination, cultural identity, and the intersectionality of these factors with mental health. Therapists in this area often focus on cultural competence, empowerment, and holistic approaches that incorporate cultural practices. The goal is to create a safe and affirming space for Black women to express themselves, heal, and grow.

Our Black Woman 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.

Therapy can be invaluable for Black women dealing with systemic pressures and racial trauma by providing a safe space to express feelings and experiences without judgment. It offers understanding and validation of your struggles, equips you with coping strategies, and fosters empowerment as you navigate societal challenges. Working with a culturally competent therapist can help you build resilience, set personal goals, and promote healing, ultimately supporting your journey toward self-advocacy and personal growth.
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.
