First Session

I did a thing today! I’m proud of myself. Today I moved opposite of the stigma attached to therapy within the African American community.

Protect Your Space

Would you stand by and allow an intruder to walk into your home and so boldly take your belongings? Take the things that you hold so dear to your heart? I’m going to take a gander at your answer and go with a, “no.” or more like a, “hell no!” In considering the above question AND…
