Why do I need therapy? Therapy is for people who are crazy or out of control! I should be able to do this by myself! Asking or getting help means I'm not capable or strong. People are in therapy "cause they have to be." Couple's therapy is a last resort. Family therapy doesn't work/is not for me. Are any of these questions going through your mind? Is it helpful to know you are not alone? Sometimes, people are apprehensive about engaging in therapy or leery about continuing with therapy. All of the above reactions are understandable considering people's experiences. Licensure supervision/professional consultations offered. I didn't take "the traditional path" when I pursued my education. I have degrees in Clinical Social Work, Justice Studies, Africana Studies and Sociology. I have earned my experience and have been humbled by the people I worked with in youth residential treatment, homecare, schools, crises, hospitals, licensure supervision and professional consultations. From an anti-racism approach, let's explore intersectionalities of gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and ableism. Developing trust/relationships takes time and looks different for everyone. It's a push and pull to get people to explore their childhood in connection with their current experiences. Let's sit, crawl, walk, run, or dance together. Credentials & Experience: Additional State Licenses (LCSW, LICSW): Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA), Virginia (VA), Florida (FL). Clinical supervision, clinical guidance/support/coaching available for BIPoC mental health clinicians seeking LCSW or LICSW licensure. Please include phone number, email & availability.
