Community Involvement
We are intentional about serving in the black and christian community to bring awareness of our need for therapy and other mental health services. A key component to this is participating in community events, speaking events, hosting workshops and breaking down the myths about counseling in relatable ways. Interested in booking us for an event? Please fill out the interest form below.
Trainings & Internships
We aim to increase the number of future black mental health providers by offering hands-on experience through site supervision and internships. Our training includes direct client hours, professional hours, and skills required to run a private counseling practice that can be diversified in other business settings.

We form partnerships with other black led organizations to provide resources to clients as well as community members, to ensure that other barriers to mental health and wellness issues are eradicated. Our partners aid in this cause by providing mentorship programs, financial assistance for therapy, peer support, and other services.
