We know that starting therapy is not as easy as 1, 2, 3. After coming to the conclusion that you are interested and ready, you then begin the process of finding someone who you believe is the best fit for you and your needs.
And then you found yourself here. "Is this the right place for me?" you ask yourself.
Well, are you:
Noticing yourself feeling down, overwhelmed, stressed, unable to find your footing, and emotionally exhausted?
Going through changes in your life and feeling lost and unsure of what to do or where to go from here?
Finding yourself constantly holding back but you’re not even sure why?
Constantly extending yourself to the edges of your capacity, feeling responsible for others’ well-being, safety, and happiness, but find yourself neglecting your own?
Feeling like you can’t stop, pause, slow down because it would make you seem less committed, less capable, or feel like you’re not doing enough?
Feeling overwhelmed with the fear of failure and the pressure to perform?
Looking for a Black therapist to support you better understanding yourself and in processing all that's been going on in your world, in a judgment-free place where you can remove your "I got it all together" mask and "I can do it all" cape?
Then, take this as a sign that you are in the right place at the right time.
The folks who connect with Diasporic Healing often consider themselves “first generation,” wanting to shift from a culture of walking through life according to societal and ingrained expectations to a culture of radical authenticity, love, and community.
You are the folks who are the givers, who need and want that space to give to yourselves, and feel encouraged to pursue your healing because it would create impacts on personal, ancestral, and community levels.
You are American born Black people whose ancestors are the backbone of this country and its society, and you are Black and POC immigrant and first- and second-generation Americans (children and grandchildren of immigrants) who are holding two cultural worlds and moving through the tangible and intangible stresses connected to migration and displacement.
You are all people navigating the impacts that this socio-political climate has on us as Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples and want to see and commit yourself to change.
Let us support you in allowing yourself the space to be.
