Hi, i’m terri
A therapist, a mom, and a woman of color
I started my practice because I wanted to give back to the community that has helped me so much.
When I set out to find a therapist for myself, I realized the importance of finding someone who could truly understand my experiences. As a person of color, I knew that having a therapist who shared my cultural background would be instrumental in my healing journey. I needed someone who had firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by individuals like me, who had walked a similar path and could truly empathize with my struggles.
Unfortunately, mental health has often been a topic shrouded in silence within the black community. The stigma around mental health has caused immeasurable harm, leaving so many in our community feeling alone, unheard, and misunderstood.
I have dedicated my life to being a driving force that diminishes the stigma surrounding black mental health. Empower Melanin Counseling is a space where you can feel seen, heard, and validated.
You deserve to live a peaceful and stress-free life
I know that life hasn’t always been easy. You may feel overwhelmed with the pressures of everyday life, struggle with intense emotions, or find it hard to navigate the challenges that arise. You’re tired of feeling this way and you know you need support.
Seeking support can feel like a big step, so if you’re feeling unsure about whether therapy is right for you, that’s okay. But, I want to share what’s possible when you do choose to take that leap and invest in your well-being.
Through therapy, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of who you are, your emotions, and what you need to feel happy and fulfilled. You’ll find the confidence to communicate these needs and desires, free of judgment, as you create boundaries that serve and support you. You’ll develop a stronger sense of self-worth and be able to navigate life’s challenges with resilience.
There is so much that is possible for you when you’re ready to take that step.
