Life can be HARD and so overwhelming at times. If you are struggling with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, womxanhood, racism, grief/loss or life/career transitions therapy can help. At Melanated Healing, we offer a safe and inclusive space where you can focus on your personal growth and healing journey. Our holistic approach to care embraces individuals of all backgrounds and experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance. It's time to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health.

Your therapy sessions will be trauma-informed, focusing on building a safe, trusting relationship. In this non-judgmental space, we'll create your goals and choose the best treatment approach together. I am EMDR and trauma trained, and utilize techniques such as CBT, ACT, and DBT to support your healing.
If you're tired of managing on your own and seeking support, let's connect. Starting therapy or meeting a new therapist can feel daunting, but this first step can lead to meaningful change. Contact Melanated Healing for a free consultation to see if one of our therapists is the right fit for you.
