About My Clients
Are you struggling with the taboo of seeking help or better yet discussing unhealthy family behaviors when growing up in the black community? “Mama” would often say, “What happens in this house, stays in this house”. You realize that you are now suffering from sleep disturbance, loss of appetite, no longer enjoying once pleasurable activities, isolation, low energy and sadness. I would like to help you by gently guidIng and counseling you through the therapeutic process to reduce your symptoms.
My Background and Approach
The techniques that I utilize are evidence based treatment that I have been teaching my clients suffering from the same symptoms as you for several years . Treatment goals set are person centered. I equip you with multiple coping strategies that you can implement anytime and can be practiced discreetly while experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic and trauma. I attend trainings that teach leading edge techniques. My primary method of treatment used is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); is a short-term therapy technique that can help people find new ways to behave by changing their thought patterns. CBT helps reduce stress, cope with complicated relationships, deal with grief, and face many other common life challenges.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe it’s time to stop carrying the belief that has been passed down through many generations (slavery) as a survival technique that you have to be a strong and independent woman which often looks like pushing through the pain and neglecting yourself to be the caretaker of others. Meanwhile, the trauma continues by being weaponized by the term “The angry black women”. Lets process the distorted passed down belief, collaborate together to set goals, share the pain, ask for help and give yourself PERMISSION to have great relationships, peace and joy, and have a happy life by first putting yourself on your schedule. I participate in trainings/education on the rich and true black history as well as economic development of the black community. If you want to start your healing by revealing your true self then contact me today so I can assist you with “Taking the mask off” at Mask Off Therapeutic Services PLLC.
