      <image:title>Trauma Therapy - Working through trauma can take on various forms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some clients want to work their way through their trauma by discussing what happened in detail. This can help clients uncover aspects of trauma that they hadn’t recognized before or that they avoided thinking about. Some clients want to take their time and really think about and work through their trauma similar to a paleontologist uncovering a priceless historical artifact.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Trauma Therapy - We are here for you.</image:title>

      <image:title>Identity Therapy - We utilize both Person-Centered Therapy, Cultural Humility as well as various Multicultural Therapies.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This assists our clients in understanding themselves, as well as the ways that they are being perceived by others. Through therapy, clients can find ways to cope with struggles associated with their identity issues and ultimately find themselves in the process. We are not afraid of talking about the difficult issues and feelings that belonging to certain groups can create and we do so in an environment that is safe and without judgment. We understand the impact of oppression and discrimination and how it can affect the mental and emotional health of clients.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Identity Therapy - We help you discover how your experiences influence your identity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once we can identify the ways in which societal pressures and oppression have contributed to the stress that we’ve experienced, we can create barriers and boundaries for our own protection. This will allow us to see a positive reflection of ourselves and how our identities can be our best asset because they make us who we are.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Depression Treatment - We emphasize the relationship between the client and the therapist to create a supportive space for our clients.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We work with them to help them identify patterns that may be contributing to some of their depressive symptoms (negative self-talk, all-or-nothing thinking, behaviors established in childhood, etc). Once we’ve identified the source of these symptoms we can work to create new ways of thinking and new behaviors that are more conducive for our clients and their positive mental health practices. We institute everything from talk therapy to journaling and mindfulness practices (just to name a few).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Depression Treatment - There is hope for you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once clients have identified and implemented more effective ways of managing their depression symptoms, they often feel a sense of relief. Clients have described feeling that there is a “light at the end of the tunnel” and a feeling that they can experience happiness again and get back to doing the things they enjoy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Anxiety Therapy - We discuss the impact that the anxiety is having and try to identify the source of the feeling.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes the source of anxiety may be rooted in previous experiences, or sometimes we do not know the source of our anxious feelings. We meet our clients where they are emotionally to help them manage their feelings of anxiety more effectively and build an inventory of tools that they can utilize during times of high anxiety.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Anxiety Therapy - We educate you on how to navigate anxiety.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Understanding that we will never be fully rid of any feeling of anxiety, we help our clients understand when they are beginning to feel overcome with their feelings of anxiety so that they know how to offset those feelings with healthy coping strategies. Once these strategies have been implemented, clients often feel that they are able to maintain levels of anxiety that are at more productive levels, rather than the paralyzing anxiety of the past. Additionally, they are able to identify what type of situations increase their anxiety and they try to find ways to mitigate those instances so that if they can’t avoid them altogether, they feel better prepared to handle the feelings that arise in those circumstances.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Couples Counseling - Once couples allow themselves to hear one another with the intent to understand instead of the intention to just respond.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Often, we see that the page that each person is on in their relationship isn’t as far from their partner as they may have thought. We help couples develop strategies for addressing conflict more productively and for listening to one another more intently. We help couples to attain the goals that they both have for their relationship and as a result, we can strengthen these relationships so that they are reinforced and stronger moving forward.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Couples Counseling - We get to the essence of what a person is saying instead of getting caught in what we think our partner is saying.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We want to focus on what our partner FEELS and on how we FEEL. We often find that once we focus on the emotions that it becomes easier to feel empathy for our partner and that this emotional connection increases intimacy. We don’t shy away from having some of the difficult discussions that couples need to have and addressing some of the wounds that have been left to fester over time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Interpersonal Therapy - Once our clients recognize how and why their relationships seem to be failing, they are able to implement various strategies.</image:title>
      <image:caption>These strategies help them be more honest in their relationships and to be clear about what they will and won’t accept from the people in their lives. Our clients begin to recognize the relationships that are worth putting energy into and they also see the ones that are not serving them any longer. This frees up our clients to engage with the people that they choose to have in their lives in ways that are healthier and more reciprocal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Interpersonal Therapy - We connect with our clients on an emotional level using empathy, authenticity and providing a non-judgmental space.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We help them to identify where their relationships seem to be breaking down and we explore the reasons why their relationships might not look the way they’d like. We discuss creating boundaries cementing self-worth and confidence to know what type of treatment we want from the people in our lives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Group Therapy - In group therapy, your life will be improved from learning strategies about managing your emotions and connecting with others.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Group therapy will teach you things about yourselves and how you interact with others that you may never have learned without being in an environment that challenged you to be honest and open with people with whom you are connected on an emotional level. You take these lessons with you into the “real world” armed with the knowledge of who you really are at your core and what you need to feel supported, validated, and connected to others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Group Therapy - We have done both support groups and emotional processing groups.</image:title>
      <image:caption>These groups may have people with various presenting concerns, but what they have in common is an underlying experience that has challenged them in ways they’d never imagine. Our clients use group therapy to provide a healing space where they can connect with others who are seeking the same type of healing and are looking for the same type of support. The result of experiencing cohesion and interpersonal connectedness is one that cannot be overstated in terms of its healing properties. The cathartic impact of this experience is one that often shocks clients and can often be the healing that they didn’t know they needed.</image:caption>
